You had the kindest heart and always put everyone else first right until the very end. Never once did we hear you complain about anything and you always stressed the importance of forgiveness. Mom, you were always the perfect lady and took great pride in having your hair just so and looking your very best. We would like to give special thanks to Dr. Brodovsky for his devotion to helping our Mom. We would also like to thank Dr. Nick Van Rensburg for his genuine care and concern during this difficult time and nurses, Rhea, Sandy, Cheryl and Bonnie for their compassion. A private Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated in St. Mary Roman Catholic Church, Beausejour, MB, with Rev. Fr. Mark Drozniak, presiding. Pallbearers were Jim Mikolash, Gary Mikolash, Jackie Mikolash, Barry Mikolash, Cory Macauley and Nolan Weselak. Honorary Pallbearers were Ralph Mikolash, Bob Kuhn, Chad Lukie and Trevor Kuhn. Mom, Grandma...we love you more!
