We were sad to hear about Aunt Mary’s passing. She was such a delightful, soft spoken, interesting lady. She was blessed with many fruitful and healthy years. She put her time to good use. I had the pleasure of spending time with Aunt Mary when she visited my Dad in Saskatoon. May your good memories give you strength and courage. - Posted by: Gloria Borisinkoff(Pawlik) (Neice) on: Nov 09, 2012

I admired Mrs. Yurkiw very much. During the 50's we carpooled - she to John Black and myself to Emesville. Being a young man and away from home for the first time, she became my surrogate Mom. She was a fine person, a talented teacher and she acted as a mentor in my life. Because of my health, I am unable to attend the funeral but my thoughts are with you. On behalf of Faith and myself, I extend our condolences to the family. Eugene Kinaschuk - Posted by: Eugene Kinaschuk (Friend) on: Nov 09, 2012
