Dear Evelyn & family, we Markowski girls send our sympathy. We knew Vella as Kathy growing up. She was a friend, in church,in school, hiking in the woods after we all finished our chores. Kathy was smart, fearless, kind, a person to be admired. We know the loss of a sister since our Lucille went to Jesus a few weeks ago. May Kathy rest in peace.
