Thank you, Vlasta, for doing alterations on Carollynne's wedding dress just after you came to Canada. Your magic worked - we are still married. And thank you for teaching Kyle the basics of tennis. And thank you for being a great friend of dad's.

I will always remember Vlasta as passionate and very opinionated about the technical side of tennis. She was significant in improving my game, and I have fond memories of Swiss Chalet lunches with Vlasta and Nicole, and listening to her many stories and experiences. Vlasta was an exceptional woman with great courage, a wonderful sense of humour, and unfaltering determination. She is certainly a legend.
