Lilly was my friend in our young adult years. She had an infectious laugh. We had many good years singing together in O. Koshetz ukrainian choir, where we travelled as a choir to Ukraine and performed there. I miss Lilly and think of her often.

I remember Lily as a child growing up in Rackham, Manitoba. My brother, Eugene, was Lily's age and whenever we went to the store or for a visit, Eugene and Lily would play together. My condolences to her family, and her brothers and sisters. Gus Janczyszyn.... - Posted by: Augustine Janczyszyn (Past neighbour and friend) on: Jul 30, 2012
