If this was a final good-bye, it would bruise my soul
Things were left unsaid.
Things were left undone.
You have walked through a doorway, that eventually I will go.
Together we shall meet.
Together we shall speak.
Each would listen and share what we have learned.
We were teachers.
We were students.
Now is not the time of sorrow, yet tears will be shed.
We will honor your life.
We will mourn your loss.
This life was full of challenges, some you met, some will be faced again.
The joy and love you shared will light your path as you cross the
threshold.
Those who have gone before shall embrace and guide you to peace and
grace.
Time will pass.
Time leaves only your beauty.
Until you return again to the Earthy path, may you be surrounded by
our love.
Edith Pachesny, age 67, died Sunday evening February 17, 2002 as
the result of an automobile accident in Manistee.  She was born
June 23, 1934 to Helen (Davis) Kubanek and the late Matthew
Kubanek.  Edith married Donald Pachesny on August 31, 1957 at
St Joseph Church.  Edith especially liked spending as much time as
possible with her grandchildren.  She also loved her dog, Bandit and
took him everywhere she went.  Edith was a communicant of St.
Joseph church and was very active in the services of the church,
especially working on the funeral luncheon and the Paczki
programs.  Over the past few years, she was the primary caregiver
for her mother.

Edith is survived by her: husband, Donald; her daughter, Theresa;
sons and daughter-in-laws--Daniel and Shelia with their four
children, April, Cara, Shawn, and Ridge; Michael and Anne, with
their daughter, Katherine; Steve and Patti, with their son, Logan;
her mother, Helen Kubanek; sisters and brother-in-law,  Betty
Minister and Delores and John Maidens; many nieces and nephews
also survive her.
There were many challenges she waited until late in life to face.   She
didn't drive until
she was in her fifties.  But once she learned the world
opened up to here and she took advantage of the opportunties it offered
to her.  Soon after she went back to school and got her GED , getting her
"Nurses Aid/Homecare Giver" certificate.  She swam several times a
week, played basketball with the grandkids and took them on nature
hikes.  She is a shining example of how it is never too late to begin again.
Edith Joan Kubanek Pachesny  June 23, 1934-February 17, 2002
