We are saddened to hear of the passing of your mother Helen. We were all blessed to have known her for the last 15 years. Our mother Wanda loved and cherished her friendship. She was a woman of great kindness and intelligence. She always had a smile and some lovely anecdote or insight to share with us. We will always be in our hearts.
Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.

We were very sad to hear of Ciocia Hela’s passing. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. We have many wonderful memories of times that we spent with her over the years: family gatherings in her home with Stan on Kennedy Park Rd., times at the Cawaja Beach cottage. She was always welcoming, thoughtful, kind and supportive. Our family will miss her. We send our condolences to Teresa and Mike, Barb and Keith and their families.

Steve and I were saddened to hear of Ciocia Hela’s passing. She was such a kind and thoughtful woman and we were all lucky to have her in our lives for so long. We would try and visit between mealtimes so she didn’t feel like she had to feed us, but of course she always did :-) She gave me a few keepsakes in recent years so I will always have something to remind me of her. I will miss her telling me stories about her sister Janina, my mother - and being able to learn about the person she was through the eyes of her sister. Rest in peace.
