Condolences

Condolence From: Stuart Korchinski Family
Condolence: Very sorry to hear the news. Having lost our mother ten years ago, I know how difficult a time it is and will be for my cousins and for her brother, my Uncle Ed. Aunty Helen was also a relative to others and friend to many. I want to extend my condolences to all who are grieving her passing. And while it is very sad, I choose to remember the many good times we had particularly when Aunty Helen lived in Rama and I was a still a child. Drinking freshly made milk which she always generously offered or collecting eggs were always highlights as well as her big smile and twinkling eyes. Rest in peace Aunty Helen. Our memories of you live on. Stuart and Sylvie Korchinski and our children - Sacha, Jason, Sam and Chloe.

Condolence: Dear cousins,

My thoughts are with you as you honour and remember your mother Helen today. I have such wonderful childhood memories of your home on Magrath street. The delicious homemade Ukraine food, the sing-alongs, the joking and laughter, and of course, the killer tea-towel fights that always went hand-in-hand with dish washing! These are all very special and happy memories that I am fortunate to have because of your mother's hospitality, and one's I'd like to share today in honour of her.

With sincere regards, Lynn Jeffery (nee: Mihalcheon)

Condolence: To the family, Wayne, Donna, Garnet, and James, my deepest condolences on the passing of your mother Helen. May she rest in peace and be reunited in a better place with Maurice. I will always have fond memories of your mom and the visits to the family home when I was a youngster. Your house was a buzz of activity and the gathering spot for many special occasions. Food, drink, song and laughter abound became synonymous with each visit and with my lasting memory of Helen. I will carry with me Aunt Helen’s infectious smile, boisterous laughter and strong personality. May she transcend to a higher place where she can once again live free of pain and be forever happy. Although I cannot be with all of you on this day, know that your family is in my heart in my prayers.

Condolence From: Doug Korchinski
Condolence: I will always remember Auntie Helen from the times we spent on your farm during the summers and particularly when she opened her home in Yorkton to me as I was passing through on my way back east. A lovely, warm, funny woman who leaves us too soon. Our thoughts are with you. Doug and family.
