Condolences & Memories (19 entries)

  • I remember baking gingerbread around Christmas time about 9 years ago with Baba in our kitchen. The other memory that keeps popping up is of when we would visit Baba at the farm and right when we walked in, we would smell onions frying and perogies boiling. She would be in the kitchen with a hair net on, rolling out the dough. After almost 10 years, I still hold these memories close to my heart. I look for you in all of the new friends I make and those are the ones I surround myself with 💜 miss you always. - Posted by: Amber (Grandaughter) on: Dec 25, 2024

  • I remember being in Arborg and doing some shopping with you and mom. People in town would see you and stop to chat for a while. You’d greet them with a smile and ask how they were. Sometimes I’d ask you who it was and you’d say “I don’t know!” and we’d laugh. You made a lasting impact on everyone you met, including me. Something I’ll never forget. - Posted by: Amber (Granddaughter ) on: Feb 10, 2022

  • 5 years later and I still think about you often. I am glad you don't have to live in the world the way it is right now. I know that you are at peace and that you are watching over your beloved family and friends. You are still an inspiration to me. Everyday I strive to be like you were. Hardworking, selfless, generous and kind with a loving heart to all people. I am so thankful that I had you in my life. I am thankful that you brought my mom into the world. I see you in her a lot. I love you forever. - Posted by: Amber Schaefer (Granddaughter) on: Nov 28, 2020

  • My baba was a kind, strong, hard-working and loving person. She taught me so many things in life and I am so glad that I got to spend so much time with her. I remember cooking with her, gardening with her, laughing with her and having some of the best times of my life with her. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her and I miss her with all my heart. I am thankful that I have people in my life who loved her when she was with us on earth and continue to love and miss her as much as I do. She made a huge impact on my life and I try to live life like she did: love everyone equally, treat all people with kindness, value family above all and to be strong even when things get hard. I believe she is my guardian angel and will forever be with me in my heart. - Posted by: Amber Schaefer (Granddaughter) on: Jan 30, 2018
