Our sincere condolences to Pani Olya's relatives and closest caregivers.
I will remember my last visit with her when visiting TO. She was an amazing lady with a heart of gold and a mind like a vice. She remembered the feelings she had when my mom passed away at St. Joe's and I asked her to sit while I went to get a cup of coffee. She was so afraid that my mom would pass away while I was gone!
The connection that I had with her was that my mom ( Tonia Serednycky Nee: Slusarchuk) was from the same town of Kodnya and my mom looked after Stephan when Pani Olya had to leave her home to do errands. They were very good friends.
She will be missed!
