Nadia and Pete, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a great lady and my Mom would be heartbroken if she knew. On a personal note, your Mother was an inspiration to me. She was loving and kind and never judged me. As a single mother, she encouraged me to christen Jake in the church and it happened because of her guidance. She was a true force and I'm so thankful. I am sending you my love and tears. I wish I could be there to hug all of you. Lisa xoxoxo

I am saddened to hear of Teta Milka's passing and comforted to know that she is no longer suffering. May God grant her eternal rest and peace. May she continue to sing amongst the angels. She was a great example of a true Orthodox Christian who devoted her life to our church and choir. She will be greatly missed.

Please accept our deepest sincere condolences. Milka was a very special lady and I never would have had the privilege of knowing her if I had not been employed at the GECDSB. She was such a kind and gentle person and she had a terrific sense of humour once she felt comfortable with you. She will be missed.....
