Halina's strength and determination inspired many of us to hold our heads high no matter our struggles and to invest in the lives of our children and grandchildren, no matter the sacrifice. Hers is a legacy of hard work, determination, and perseverance. I am stronger because of the times I was blessed to experience day to day life with her.
