Dr Danylak was the best doctor I ever had, she helped me in the 1980s and my mother. Her passing is a great loss and her memory will always live on.

To the family of Dr. Mary Danylak: It came as a total shock to learn of Dr. Danylak's sudden demise on returning from an overseas trip to England and India in 2016. I had not been in touch with her for some time and wanted to go see her to thank her for the fabulous person and doctor she was for so many years . She was our family doctor from 1977 and delivered all three of our children. I can say without any doubt that she saved me from all kinds of ramifications because she gave me the correct treatment and proper medication in times, when without this, I cannot imagine what the result would have been. I am sorry for taking this long to find this site and say to her boys, who she cared and worried about, that she is my thoughts and prayers from a long time ago and always. There is no other way to repay this great doctor other than to let you who lost your beautiful mother know, that she will forever be in my gratefulness to God for allowing me to have such a gracious and kind person in all my health needs, giving me so much peace of mind. May we meet again where all beautiful persons are, in Heaven. My sincere belated condolences to her family.

I just looked up Dr. Danylak to recommend her to a friend and found this horrible news! Dr. Danylak was the greatest doctor I have ever had. She was a true pioneer. She was looking for root causes of illness where others just treat symptoms and push medications. Dr. Danylak was firm; but, sweet to my daughter and I for which I am grateful. I am truly saddened that the world has lost such a wonderful, brilliant woman.

Mary was both a family member and my special doctor. As a mother Mary adored her sons and grandchildren and talked of them in the most loving affirming ways. As a medical doctor, both as a scientist and a naturopath, she was in a league of her own - an exceptional, knowledgable practitioner and a true healer. Mary loved being a doctor and excelled at it. She helped me and many others, greatly. Mary partook in many 'roles' in her life, a mother, grandmother, relative and an exceptional medical professional. I loved Mary, and was very saddened by her sudden passing. I will miss her but am glad I shared a part of her life's journey. Our connection will continue through her loving sons, Paul and Leo and their beautiful families.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a patient of Dr. Danylak for many years, and also a friend. She was a wonderful doctor, extremely knowledgable and caring to her patients. She was also a very intelligent person with a great sense of humour, elegant sense of style, and an easy laugh, warm and kind, fun to be with. And she was so proud of her sons, her daughters-in-law, and her grandchildren. They brought so much joy to her life. I will always remember her. May her memory be a blassing. Suzanne Miller

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,....the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This was one of the many gifts I received from Dr. Danylak. I feel privileged to have known her and words cannot express the depth of gratitude that I feel for the wisdom and many kindnesses she imparted to me over the past 20 years. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss.
