Hi BJ - thank you for letting me know that your Mum passed away. Unfortunately, we were in Florida and just got back today. I really enjoyed working with your Mum and she was the one that got me into Curling at Dixie Curling Club around 1977. Don and I are still curling. Please give my condolences to all your family.

Dear Uncle George, Brian, Linda, Allan, BJ, and families,
There is a saying that "Without a doubt, the world needs love like a parched land needs water. Everyone can make a positive contribution to the peace of the world by following Jesus' injunction to love one another". Aunt Olga certainly portrayed this...she loved life...she loved her family..she loved the church....she loved her roots...she loved tradition. She always had a warm smile and a giving heart. Terry and I are so sorry that we cannot be with you all at this time but we truly believe that you are encapsulated in her spirit with everlasting love.......Veechnaya Pamyat.
Love, Judy and Terry

I have known two of Olga's children for a number of years now, without ever having the good fortune to meet Olga. But I know in my heart that she is a Good Mother to have raised such good Children.

Dear Uncle George, Brian, Linda, Al & Nora, BJ & David and all of your families

And when life's sweet story ends
The Soul and Body part as friends
No quarrels, murmurs - - no delay
A kiss, a sigh and so - - away

My deepest sympathies and thoughts go out to all of you. May all the beautiful memories of Auntie Olga, her love and caring give you strength as your new life journey begins.

Sincerely

Mary Semotiuk

Dear George, Brian, Linda, Allan & Nora, Betty Jane & David and all of your families

Peacefully, sleep comes to a dear, beloved heart.
Quietly, we understand the time has come to part.
Tenderly, the love shines on-a never-ending light.
Gratefully, we feel its warmth and say, "Sweet dreams, good-night"

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Treasured memories of Olga, the laughter, the teasing, the celebrations together all interwoven with her love of family, tradition and style. George - - Be kind and gentle with yourself in your grief especially in the days, weeks and months ahead. You know - - Olga would of wanted that.

Love to all
