Unclaimed acts of kindness, generosity, or just good humour changed the world a little bit and many will consider their lives improved because of his presence. He taught those closest to him by example, to live with optimism, enjoy - always enjoy, be a decent person, teach your children, seize the day, be moderate in your desires and leave some for others, marry someone you respect and then esteem your spouse. Take whatever hand you're dealt and play it to the fullest. These lessons were learned and passed on. That is his legacy.

She was able to utilize her green thumb and love of gardening in caring for and transplant greenhouse plants at Gobert's Greenhouse. She worked as an aid to the residents of Middle Church Home where her kind ways would have been a gift to all of those she met with. She was also employed by her entrepreneurial nephew Harold, at Portage Markets where she contributed to the growth and success of the business. Thankfully Mary was willing to share the trade secrets of her delicious, authentic Ukrainian food dishes with her family, thereby ensuring the tradition would be carried on for generations. In later years Mary and Chester enjoyed their families, fishing trips to Dryden, ON, weekend trips to Shooting Star, strolling along and socializing at the local mall. One of her happiest experiences, most recently, was meeting new friends and participating in the joyful activities and excursions at Lions Manor. Mary was a loyal friend, a truly loving, generous mother and grandmother. She will live on in our hearts as we pass on her traditions and values. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all of the staff at the Lions Manor, Lori, Dr. Woo and the Diabetic Education Centre, home care nurses and Riverview Centre staff for their care of Mom in the last few months.
