Dear Aunt Wanda. i will miss you dearly. I remember living with you on Bryant Ave., and visiting you in the city. Remember the time when i was about 5, you gave me one of yur watches, about 10, you gave me a boars hair bristle brush.(about a month ago, for some strange reason, i went looking for one in the stores...you told me they were the best for my hair). When i was about 16, i stayed over for the weekend with you, we went out to see PIPPIN on Broadway. What a thrill that was, my first Broadway show. Then we went to Radio City. A memorable weekend for sure. You were always so nice to me. I'm so glad you got to come to our wedding and meet Larry's family,(his mom really liked you!) and to our condo. (you thought we lived in a highrise, and what a surprise when you saw we had a lawn and deck .) i will miss you mountains, but...i know now that I have someone on the OTHER side looking out for me, along with grandma and grandpa. Good byr, Love Lynnie

It was my privilege as a guest at several Ploshay family gatherings to be in the company of Wanda. She was a delight to all, wonderfully cheerful, wise, witty, fully of spunk, yet thoroughly gracious. I had come to treasure these moments as I have with my own family and Wanda was much like a dear Aunt to me as well. I feel her loss deeply, but it is nothing compared to what Wanda's own family is feeling. May you know God's comfort at this time of loss. She left us much too soon.

To the family of Wanda, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always remember Wanda's warmth, beatiful smile, and her love and commitment to her family. We will miss her! Romans 14:8 " For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."

Dear Aunt Wanda, I will never forget the sound of your voice. You were always so positive and had such a great outlook on life. Now you are gone, and I miss you. I remember when I was a little boy living on Bryant Ave, and you moved to live in San Francisco for a few years. And I missed you then. This is different. I always thought of you as a trailblazer in our family for some reason. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was telling you that I was going to Poland. And we spoke about what a thrill Grandpa would have had if he knew I was going there. I'm sorry I didn't bring back any Polish dirt for you.. But I will next time. This is all so sudden, and I am in shock. Thank you for being such a cool Aunt! I know that you are reunited in heaven with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Val.. Love Always, Your nephew Kirk

We will truly miss Aunt Wanda. We will remember her as a classy, beautiful, confident, independent, chic business woman. She loved being a part of New York City, living in a lively garden apartment in Turtle Bay near the United Nations. We remember her taking us to the United Nations Peace garden on the East River to enjoy the beautiful city-scapes and the extraordinarily beautiful array of roses. It was wonderful to have her at as many family celebrations as possible! She added her special Aunt Wanda dimension and energy to each one. She was informed on many subjects and could hold her own in varied conversations. She was an avid sports enthusiast, a movie aficionado and an avid reader! She was gracious, frank and loving...her infectious laugh, her conversations and warm hugs will be greatly missed!

Dear Aunt Wanda, I can hardly bear the thought that we will not be able to see each other or talk together again this side of heaven. You brought so much FUN to every family gathering! I adored your enthusiasm. It was always special to share exciting news with you. As we used to tell you, you were our family cheerleader. We always knew "where you stood" from your famous words, "I love it, love it, love it!" or "I hate it, hate it, hate it!" You always looked so young and acted so youthful that it was hard to believe your true age. Thank you, Aunt Wanda, for making the effort time after time to travel to and from the city to attend family events. It was a huge effort, and we truly appreciate it. Most of all, I'll miss your laughter. I know you are safely in heaven now. Memories of you will continue to brighten our lives. Love, Kathy

Aunt Wanda was literally like a best friend to me. We could talk anytime on the phone and it was just like I was talking with one of my friends from college. She brought so much joy to my life and I cannot imagine not having her to call up and just walk with. Whether it was about school, work, or politics, she was always ready and able to talk. She provided such sound advice and was truly a golden friend. I will forever miss her sense of humor, her encouragement, her spunk, her political debates with me, her heart of gold and how she just made life and family events so much fun! We can celebrate the life that Aunt Wanda lived where she was a faithful member of the family, always making each of us feel loved and appreciated in her own way. I will miss her so much and know that these next weeks and months will be so hard, but we can rejoice in the time we did have with her and know that now she is free from pain and suffering. I look forward to celebrating Aunt Wanda's life with all of you on Friday night. God bless each one of you as you remember my best friend, Aunt Wanda.
