Mrs. Markiewicz was a big part of my childhood, always a smile for me whenever I came over which was often! Always checking in with me to see how I was doing or follow up on something she knew I had already done. You can never have too many encouraging and caring adults around you when you're a kid and teenager and she was one for me.
I will never forget her laugh, and how she inspired me to love the plants and animals around me. She will be missed and my heart goes out to the Markiewicz family. Sincere condolences from the Riccio Dao family.
