Darcia, I never had the opportunity to meet you Mom but from reading the other messages I know her spirit lives on in you. My sympathies to you and all the familiy.

Terry, Tom and the Parada family.
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. The thoughts of the Falvos are with you at this time of sorrow.
As kids, Terry's friends were always welcome at the Parada's home as we listened to blues records, played the Horse Race game and banged away on Tom's drums.
I have such wonderful memories of Mrs Parada and her cheery personality and thoughtful kindness.
John, Dave, Sabrina and all the Falvo family.

Sandi, Ted, Tom, Terry, Darcia and Aunt Irene: We are so very sorry for your loss. I always considered Aunty Mary my second Mom. She always had an open door and kitchen whenever I visited. No one beat her Perogies. She was always so special in my heart and will always be. I know that her and your Father, and mine are up there right now arguing over who to bet in the next race and your Dad just bet the wrong horse by accident and hit the Long shot which came in first, and they're all having a great laugh as they always did. Our Prayers and Thoughts are with you all and I am so sorry I could not get there for the Funeral. May God Bless you all and I will miss her very very much. Every time I returned home, I looked forward to seeing Aunty Mary. She was always so happy and loving and made me always feel like a son to her. I love you all and wish so very much I could be with you all now. God's speed to you Aunty Mary, and I look forward to the day when we will see each other again and enjoy each others company with all of our family together. I Love you and I miss you. With all our Prayers and deepest sympathies - Joey Kasper and family.

My deepest sympathies. Mary was the greatest Godmother I could have ever asked for. I will forever miss our family history lessons as I liked to call them when I visited the last few years. Heaven has another angel.

Dear Darcia...
I am so sad to hear that your Mom passed away.
She was a great, great Lady.
She showed me (in 1981?) in Edmonton, the best way to spend a Ukaranien Christmas!!!
I hug you and your brothers and sisters big-time.

To the soul of Your servant Mary, O Christ, grant rest among the saints, where there is no pain, no sorrow, no mourning, but only life without end.
