It was a honor to know Aunt Statia. She was a true matriach a family could ever have. I have always looked up to her. I will truly miss her. Me and Anthony will miss the family picnics with Aunt Statia. She is a true loss to us but a great gain in heaven. May God bless her and her family.

Although I was unable to attend any of the family picnics, I met Great Aunt Stacia this past summer and had a wonderful time with her. I will miss speaking with her and offer my condolances.

You've made a great impact on many people, Aunt Statia. My mom alone has said she wishes to be half the woman you were. I guess my number one special thing I remember you by, this is truly amazing, how you could remember EVERY, and I mean EVERY, single family member's name no matter if you saw them everyday or just once a year for the family picnic. You were always able to remember and keep up with everyone's life.

I first met your Mother when I moved near her and the orchard and she and your Father would take their evening walks with the dogs. We both attended the same Church, worked on many projects together and many times I sat in front of her wood stove sipping tea. I will surely miss her and her beautiful love of life. She was an inspiration. God bless and keep her in the palm of His hand.

Jerry & Kenny,
Your mom was a very special person, the "back roads" of the apple orchard have been very lonely the last couple of years without her, I used to meet her regularly walking the dogs, I even remember back when she had "Sam". She oftened gave me veggies out of her famous garden during the summer when I'd stop by and chat with her. I'll miss her, she was a special lady.

I remember her well as the school nurse. More recently, I was her newspaper carrier. She was a very nice lady.

Aunt Statia was the most special person in the world. She was so amazing, caring, thoughtful, smart and her first priority was always family. She accepted everyone as they were family or friend, she never judged, just loved with an open heart. She lived a long, healthy and happy life and touched so many people during her time here on earth, and I believe god took her now to prevent her from suffering. We will all miss her tremendously, she was the glue that held us all together, and we are all sad to see her pass on, but I believe she would want us to celebrate her life by continuing to keep the family and friends together. We will NEVER forget you Aunt Statia, you will always be in our hearts, and I hope we can continue to keep you around us by staying together as a family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The world is a much better place because of Aunt Statia.

From picking blackberries to having sleepovers in N. Brookfield with Cousin Wendy. From visits with you (especially over the last few years), to your support of my singing. From your gift of always making everyone feel welcome and cared for to the homeade half sour pickles. From your gift of hospitality to swimming in that pool each summer. From walks through your gardens to some of my fondest memories as a child. I will truly miss your presence on this earth, Aunt Statia. I will always aspire to be like you as you were an inspiration to everyone you touched. My Grandfather loved you very much and I know you both shared a special bond with all your brothers and sisters as well as your parents. Thank you for always making my Mom feel like she remained a part of our family even after my parent's divorce. It meant a lot to her. Lastly and most importantly, thank you for everything you did for the entire Shivick family. No one was ever forgotten by you. I hope you are now happily joined with Uncle Bud. I look forward to singing for you and honoring you on Saturday morning. Miss and love you. In gratitude for your life, Jane (& family - Todd & Megan)

Jerry and Ken--your mother was a wonderful woman. I remember the many Super Bowl Sundays they came to our house to celebrate Mary's birthday, but the party had to end so your father could watch the game. Now the Super Bowl is much later in the month or even in February--she was a great nurse too and I remember her trying to comfort us when we thought my mother was about to die and now 3 years later we are lucky to have our mother still alive and you have lost yours. Peter joins me in sending our prayers and condolences.
