With our deepest condolences for your loss. May her memory be eternal! A warm embrace to you and Joe,
Due to todays circumstances and since there will not be a public funeral, I would like to share some of what I would have said at a public funeral. My parents married in 1944 in Ukraine and the fled to Germany. They came to Canada in 1949 as Deported People as part of the many "Second Wave" Ukrainians who fled to find a better, freer life. They never spoke of those years in Germany. They came to Canada with nothing. They learned to speak, read and write in English immediately and settled in Garson (near Sudbury). They built their house and had 2 daughters. The importance of a good education was strongly encouraged in both Anne and I and we were constantly told we could attain as high an education as we wanted. I got my Masters degree and Anne became an architect. My Mother instilled in me the importance of my Ukrainian heritage and traditions as well as the comfort of strong faith. She taught me how to sew and embroider and my love and passion for gardening. The early years of her life would not have been easy for her - a life that I cannot even begin to imagine. Her struggles and sacrifices have helped give me the fortunes and opportunities that I have in my life.
Rest in Peace Mom and THANK YOU

My deepest sympathies to you in the loss of your Mother. She was so kind and sweet, and an expert seamstress! I will never forget the beautiful bridesmaid dress she sewed for me for Halina Zakamarco's wedding when my mother was in the hospital. She will be remembered always.
In memory of our dear and loving mother.
Our hearts and prayers are with you as you journey into Heaven.
Rest in peace.
Your loving daughter and son-in-law
Anne & Gary xx
