Hi Dmytro,
Thank you for letting us know about the death of your mother. Although we never met her, I always had a soft spot for her, probably, because we both were born in December.
The picture shows a nice looking lady with a lot of character.
May she rest in peace and our sympathy to you and your family
Dmytro,
I am so very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I know that you were a good son, taking care of her needs for quite some time, and I’m sure she loved and appreciated you even more for your kindness. I commend you for that.
Blessings to you and your family,
Gary Davis
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Leonard and family, My sincere condolences to you and your family in the loss of your mother. Although we have not seen each other since high school I know how precious your mom was to you. My heart goes out to your family, and my prayers are with you and your family.
My sincerest condolences to the Nenja family. Our vacations on the farm are the fondest and funniest memories from our non-city vacations. Olgas warm milk from the cow and fresth baked bread are still the best we have ever had. She was the kindest and most generous person we will always remember her in our prayers.
My deepest sympathies to the Nenja family. I will always remember the good times growing up and spending our summers on the farm. Never frogetting your Mother’s beautiful cross stitch pillows she made and displaying them on the couch. She always was so happy and cheerful.
Dmytro,
So sorry for your loss. I hope your memories will comfort you and the knowledge of her new home in Heaven will ease your pain.
Dmytro, I am sorry to hear about Olga passing away. She was a wonderful woman and I enjoyed taking care of her. At the family picnic we each had a brownie outside and she loved it. She was my buddy that day. She loved to pray to me. I will never forget our walks outside and the time I have spent with her, but she is happier and in a better place. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Mothers hold a special place in are hearts. Hold your memories close. Larry and Diane
We are so very sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of your mom. One never left her house without having several cups of coffee and something delicious she had baked. She would pick some of her gorgeous flowers, make a bouquet and send it home with you. She was a class act.
Dmytro,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. My Mom liked your Mom a lot…they were table mates for a time at the Villa. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Take comfort knowing that she lived a long life and has now earned her reward.
You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. I will always remember her as one of the Mothers in the neighborhood when I was growing up. And I still have her rubber plant to remember her by.
We are sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. She is now one of God’s angels watching over you.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. May the presence of friends, family and God’s embrace comfort you in the coming days.
We are so sorry on the loss of your mother. May God, family & friends comfort you during this difficult time.
