Ursula was a year ahead of me in school (in my sister Mary Ellen’s -passed away in 2003- class. Mary (you might remember me from St.Mary’s and scouts). I am so sorry to read about your loss.
Your friend,
Sylvia M.(Heiland) Andrzejewski
We’re so sorry to hear of your loss. And we’re even more sorry we won’t be able to attend her funeral Mass tomorrow. We will truly miss Ursula’s presence at 8:30 Mass. We really enjoyed sharing the "Jesus Corner" with her and hope you will continue to feel her presence there when you come to Mass in the future. It gave me great pleasure to carry Jesus to Ursula during Holy Communion–I adored her reverence to the Precious Bread. May God give you all strength during this difficult time. Please know that our prayers will carry you along this difficult path.
Love from our family to yours,

Ursula was a year older than me. She was a great cousin and a good friend. She was a special person. Her loving spirit will be with us always. Growing up we had a lot of fun. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
With all my love and sympathy to each and everyone of her family especially,
John and children.
Love
