Dear Szatkowski Family,

I know your loss is tremendous. Dr. Jan Szatkowski was a remarkable human being. No matter how busy he was - he always had time to ask the right questions and to offer the best solutions. I thank God that my dear Mother and Father were treated by this wonderful person. God sent him to us and now God has called him Home.

God Bless all of you!

Dear Dr. Zabska and Family,

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of Dr. Jan. As a Doctor, he was loved and respected by many. As a man, I know that often his patients became his friends, which is a testament to his kind nature. Being as happy with his bee-keeping as he was in his impressive home library, is a testament to the breadth of his varied interests in life. Side-by side with you, Doctor Barb, he created the foundation of a legacy that will continue for generations.

I am sorry I was unable to be there with you and your family, but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

Sincerely,
Linda Sabatini

I am so sorry about the death of your father. I would have attended his services, but, unfortunately, I read the newspaper too late. Dr. Szatkowski was my family's doctor for many years and he was outstanding. He took exceptional care of all of us, particularly my father, who had severe heart problems. My parents were very fond of him and trusted him implicitly. He also took care of me and even though I was a young child, he treated me with respect, kindness and humor. Dr. Szatkowski left an amazing legacy and I am so glad I knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very difficult time.
