My beautiful sister Seta, Your untimely passing has left a deep hole in our hearts! Life is just not the same without you! Your sense of humor, your contagious laughter and zest for life are truly missed! This January 28th, 2019 will be the two year anniversary and I still find it difficult in accepting the devastating reality! I miss you dearly Seta and know that you are watching us closely from above! Your loving and supportive upbringing of your two amazing children Armand and Sarina, gave them the necessary tools of independence and emotional strength to live each day with your guidance.

Dear Soukiassian Family
I just now heard about Seta's passing, so very sorry. We knew each other from Malcolm Campbell High School and then after we were married, had mutual friends. She was such a caring person, and her smile was lovely. My heart goes out to her family & friends.

I have recently heard of Seta's passing and I am so terribly sad. Each time she came into the Dollard library she had a funny story to tell and her laugh was contagious. She was a beautiful woman who is gone way too soon. May her children find strength in their beautiful memories.

To all of you--Nora, and the Soukiassian Family...
I also attended Ahuntsic and Malcolm Campbell. I do remember a girl by the name of Seta; was she friends with Christine Berberian, with whom I am still in contact with, after all these years? What a lovely picture of Seta; I am so deeply saddened to hear of her passing, but she is with the angels now, and is happy and healthy, and able to watch over all of you.
My deepest and heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to all of you. This is a lovely picture, she has such a warm and friendly smile...May you all take comfort knowing she is at peace, and, I believe, that there is another realm, on the other side, filled with unimaginable joy. God bless.

Dear Soukissian Family, Seta's husband & children,
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your beloved Seta. Nora, I send my loving prayers to you all, and I want you to know how deeply you touched me reaching out to me when my younger brother Gerry passed.
We attended Ahuntsic & Malcolm Campbell Schools, and I remember you all.
I pray Seta is happy, healthy & with your beloved Dad now.
May her precious children know how dearly she was loved by many.
Nora, may you yourself feel some comfort, eventually, as I know firsthand what it is like to lose a younger sibling.
My heart goes out to your Mother.
I am keeping you in my prayers, all of you, & in my thoughts.
I am so very sorry this has occured.
Nora, you know I am on FB, should you wish to commiserate, or.....I respect your privacy.
Dear family, please know we keep you & Seta in our hearts.
She is an Angel now, until we reunite forever.
Nora, bless you all with grace, strength, peace, healing, love.

Un ange est née,
J'ai été très peinée d'apprendre ton décès ce matin. Justement hier Maryse et moi nous rappelions ta gentillesse et ta compassion. Je n'ai pas travaillée longtemps avec toi mais je me souviendrai de toi comme étant une personne avec beaucoup d'amour et remplie de bonté. On ne s'est pas revu après notre court passage ensemble chez Bell mais souvent tu revenais dans mes pensées.
Mes sympathies à son époux, ses enfants, sa mère, frères et surs.

I like many others who saw this today are in shock and are so saddened by the death of this lovely woman. I too am from the Sunshine Academy family and Armand was one of my students in my lunch class. I always will remember Seta because of her love and devotion to her children. She would come to see Armand at lunch time even though he was staying for lunch at school. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. May all of those loving memories give you great comfort today and in the days to come.

I only met Seta a handful of times when she invited my daughter to swim at her backyard pool ..... she came across as a sweet, kind, loving individual who was inviting to all who came into her life. My condolences to her husband, son, daughter and extended family and friends.
