Dear Christopher & Patrick
You two boys were your mother's heart. She was a wonderful person whom you should be very proud of. Never forget what she told you...grown men do cry. Never be afraid to show your emotions. She will always be with you. Make her proud! Hold on to each other through the good times and the bad. You have many friends and family that love you and will be there for you.

Mary was my older cousin. Growing up in Windsor, my sister Lynda and I revered Mary. The kindess she always showed us on our visits to the Kosyk farm will never be forgotten. Love and deepest sympathy to her husband, boys and my Kosyk relatives.

Dear Kosyk Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all on your tragic loss. Mary was truly a lovely person, so kind and considerate.

While we mourn, we shall also rejoice for she has now gone to be with her heavenly Father in a place where there is no pain, nor suffering nor misery, but life ever lasting to be with all the saints that have gone before her.

May her Memory be Eternal.

May the Good Lord comfort you all and surround you with His love during this time of great loss and mourning.

I remember being a little girl, and spending hours upon hours walking around the schoolyard with Mary. She was one of my favorite teachers, and I always looked up to her. I've thought about her often, wondering how things are going for her, because she left such an impact on me, and I'm really saddened by this sudden news.

May the power of God guide you through this difficult time. Take comfort in the fact that you know Mary is in Heaven now, looking down on you, and will always be with you in your hearts.
