Beata was my grandmother. she was such an amazing person and brought so many gifts to others. The world is much darker without her light. I will always admire her faith, strength, and dedication to family.
When I think about how she defied convention and started her own business after her husband passed away, I'm amazed. That certainly wouldn't have been easy in 1959, and yet she persevered against all odds. She possessed remarkable fortitude and strength of character. She was nothing short of an inspiration. These unique qualities and kindness are the things that I will always remember most about her.
