My moms' life began in Lithuania. In the early days of the Second World War she and her family were moved to a camp in Germany in order to work for the war machine there.. She was in her early teens at that time. My mother spoke of experiencing the Allied bombing raids around the factories they worked at. She spoke of the hardships of living in a war torn economy, of eating scraps, and having no clothes. After the war she received the greatest blessing of her life for the opportunity to immigrate to Canada. Because she was in an English occupied zone, she had the choice to stay in Germany, go back to Lithuania, or immigrate to England, Canada or Australia. She chose Canada, where she met my father shortly thereafter. She worked at Rowntree's Chocolate factory in Toronto's west end at a time when it was shameful for married women to work. She worked on her English language skills and made her way to become a shift supervisor at the plant. When my father was diagnosed with Lead poisoning and was not able to work, she was the one who became the main financial provider for the family. She raised four sons and a daughter, and was a shining example to us all for strength, stubbornness in the face of adversity and loyalty for her husband and family. She lived well beyond those around her ... her cardiologist said it best, " She is a tough old bird. The body is falling apart but her heart keeps pumping still. That generation doesn't give up easily." Rest in Peace mom ... You have earned it. And many thanks and blessings to the staff at Labdara Nursing Home, for your kindness, dedication and for treating my mom and all residents as though they were your own. Thank you
