"Her smile reminds me of my Dad 's smile, her brother, Bill as he was know till he left for WWII, where there were too many Bills and he came to be known as Kelly. In the little time we had together, I thought to myself that I would like to get to know her better and enjoy her presence and family connection. I so wanted to spend more time with her. Heartfelt sorrow and condolences to all her children and grandchildren. "

"Dear Nowack family....We are saddened to learn of the passing of your Mom. She was just the sweetest. We always looked forward to her Christmas card, since it was always the very first one we received. Mary and Tom always invited us to their house parties along with other Mooney parents. We always had an enjoyable time at your house. Now we have many happy memories of those fun days. We will miss her, like we do your Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Nowack family. Sincerely, Dan and Barb Burgmaster and family"
