Mrs. Szabo was like a mother away from my own home. She will be missed very much as she was a presence in much of my life since I immigrated to Winnipeg. She added happiness to all whose lives she touched. - Posted by: MJ Willard DVM MD (friend) on: Jan 21, 2012

I remember Mrs Szabo as a very beautiful person both inside and out. I never saw her without a smile on her face for everyone she knew. A beautiful Christian lady loved by everyone that knew her including my parents Toth Sandor & Toth Ilona whom she and her husband were friends with for many many years. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her. We were all greatly blessed to have known such a fine lady. - Posted by: Helen Silk (friend of my mom & dad) on: Jan 17, 2012
