Sending warm and sincere condolences to the loving Family of Lorraine "Lesia" Dobrovolsky. Losing a loved one is difficult. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of the joyful times you've shared. May you find strength in the tender words of comfort found at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
We look forward to the time when God's Kingdom will eliminate sickness (Isaiah 33:24) and death will be no more (Revelations 21:3,4).

Dear Andre, OD and Family,
My Sara (Duncanson) told me today of Your Dear Mama's passing.
I am so Sad and Sorry for all of You.
Dear Lesia was a Beautiful Soul. She Loved you so Much and
More... She was also So Proud of You...
I would call her occasionally from Vancouver where we
live. We were Blessed to have had a kindred Spirit Friendship.
(She officially Adopted me to be her "Non-Ukranian Ukranian
Sister" 45 years ago..)
May she be at Peace and know how Much she is
Loved and Missed.
All My Love to You. Martha Shepherd
