was originally intended as a tribute to my father, Stephen F. Sladowski, who lived his faith and loved his family and his fellowman and whose life of service to church, charity and community was cut short by an act of violence; but it is a testament to the relationship he shared with my mother, who although left a widow at forty with four children and a new business, carried on his values and ensured that his legacy would live on.

Tears of My Heart, Poems and Stories of Bereavement, is a collection of writings expressing the emotions experienced by the author in grieving the death of her beloved husband and one and only love after a blessed relationship of six decades.

Long and Lasting Love, Commemorating Couples who have celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary. This book was inspired by six couples who spent a week in Cape May, NJ, in 2009 reminiscing about how they met and fell in love fifty years before and how with faith and perseverance they weathered the challenges of life—true love stories worthy of a Hallmark designation. Similar stories are being added and will be published in November, 2021.
