Dear Olga, Nina, Luba and family, sending my sincere sympathy for the loss of your Mom Marija. It was like your Mom, Carol and Millie were a little family and I really appreciated the support we shared. I'm sure Millie and Marija are up in Heaven watching over us all and are at Peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers as we go through this difficult time!
