If you could say one thing about our mom, it's that she had a zest for life. She was passionate about travel and often visited exotic locations that most only dream of seeing. As much as she loved to travel, there was no place that our mom would rather be than on the dance floor. And anyone within a 10-metre radius was a possible tango partner. our mom was the centre of our extended family as a respected confidante, master diplomat and trusted advisor to her siblings, nieces and nephews. She was also very generous to everyone. A master gardener, our mom's gardens are legendary. Many of us are lucky recipients of her cuttings. Our mom would also take our withered plants home and bring them back to us in full bloom. My sister, Jay and I could easily fill up pages and pages of this site with all of the wonderful memories of our mom but suffice it to say that we couldn't have asked for a better mom. We love you, Mama.

Aunt Irene was the one I looked up to growing up. She was a great cook and entertainer. Always cheerful and happy when she had visitors, whether it was a special occasion or unannounced visit, she made us feel welcomed. I was looking forward to spending more time with Aunt Irene and uncle Jerzy as I planned my retirement.
