Dear Maria and Yury,
It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of your Dear Mom. I shall remember the nice visit we all had with your Mom in Montreal, shortly after the Olympics. We will remember her, and may she rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Carol Desaulniers-Suttner

Dear Marusia and David, Yury, Lev and Andrea:
Although your Mama and Babusia has been taken,
And you are sad beyond belief,
May her memories remain with you
And comfort you in your grief.
May the joy that you shared with her
Make recollections that will last,
And you'll think of her with fondness,
As you'll never forget the past.
- Janyce Cotterill
Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your dear Mama and Babusia. I remember Teta Lesia's warmth, hospitality and spirit. She was an accomplished woman; her presence in the community will certainly be missed.
May you find God's presence with you as you journey through this time of grief. Know that your dear Mama and Babusia has fallen asleep in that place of light, abundance and tranquility, from which pain, sorrow and mourning have fled.
Everlasting memory.
Irena Tarnawsky and Ivan Huk (Edmonton)
