Dear Ioji and family,

My heart goes out to all of you. It is so hard to believe that she was taken away so early. It is so sad to talk about wonderful memories of her rather than talking to her. She will be missed! Her kind soul, her positive spirit and her strength will always be with you and hopefully will bring peace and comfort to you in this difficult time.

Dear Ioji, Dessi, Maria and family,
I am very sorry to hear this terrible news. I had no idea and it comes as a huge shock. I've met Svetleto in the little playground between the block of flats in Sofia back in 1990 where we used to take the children for a play ... We lived together in Johanesburg and after that our roads split up. I last saw you guys in Montreal when Maria was 30 days old, would've been back in the year 2000. She has helped us a lot and was a good friend. I am very sorry I haven't kept in touch. My heart goes out to you all. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Svetlana was one of the first people I met when I came to the United States 16 years ago. She and Ioji welcomed me to their home, without even knowing me at the time. Svetlana helped me so much to begin my life in America and has been a wonderful friend ever since.

Ivan and I are deeply saddened. We will terribly miss Svetlana's friendship, we will miss her smile, her laugh.

Dessie, Maria, Ioji, our hugs and deepest sympathy to all of you and the whole family.

I am so saddened by the passing of Svetlana. I was fortunate to know her and work with her at Stratus Computer for many years. She was such a wonderful, lovely person. She loved her family so much, and was such a happy and upbeat person to be around. All of the people on our team considered Svetlana to be a great friend and person. I am so sad to hear this news - she was and is a special person and spirit. This world does not have enough people in it like Svetlana. My thoughts and prayers are with her daughters and her husband. I will always remember her with great love and affection.
