Oresta A. Hryciw-Kowcz

I met Oresta in 10th or 11th grade. She was way cooler than me, we'd listen to soft cell on her record player. I'll always remember her dressed up as a rosebud for halloween. Only the good die young. we are planning our 40th reunion, and although i know Oresta wont be there, it wont be the same without her exuberance.

Dearest Oresta- it seems yet once again I am late. We lost contact after college. Several years ago I searched on the internet but did not find your contact. I am taking a trip to Cleveland this week and I thought of you. When I searched I found this guest book and obituary. My heart aches. I am sorry for your family...I pray for your soul's journey and the comfort you find with God and the Angels. You were my best friend at Drexel and I adored you. I loved our debates and adventures. Thank...

I was friends with Oresta at Cheltenham Highs School. I was searching for her online with hopes of touching base with her and was saddened to find this news. I have thought of her often over the years as a person who made High School a better place, she was unique and very sweet. My sympathies to her family and friends.

I went to Cheltenham High School with Oresta and I can say honestly she was one of the sweetest people I ever had the pleasure of meeting. She befriended me during a difficult time and I remember her cheerful smile and great laugh. Although we had not spoken for years I always remembered how selfless and kind she was. Heaven is a definitely a better place with her gentle soul

Orysia was an incredibly vibrant, passionate, energetic and dedicated person. I went to many camps with her and we were members of the same kurin. My prayers and thoughts go to the ENTIRE Hryciw-Kowcz families. What an incredible loss..... Hechay z Bohom cpochyvaye.

Taras & Lukash: Our hearts and prayers are yours. If you need anything, do not hesitate to call on us, anytime. Your cousins, Judy (Fedorka)Gaffey and Veronica Fedorka

Oresta,
Although our meeting began thru business I truly enjoyed the friendship that developed over the years. You were a wonderful person through and through that will always be missed and always remembered. God Bless.

My Dearest Oresta,

I met you as I have done so many banking collegues through our work. Through the years, you embraced me as your friend, a confidant, someone who shared so many smiles, laughter and tears. On Saturday's service, I walked away knowing that as you touched my life you touched the life of many. I will forever hold you close to my heart. Rest in peace my friend knowing that your grace and beauty will be missed. I am truly a better person for having known you,...
