MARY KOHUCH August 17, 1930 - March 31, 2012 In memory of Mary, devoted wife, wonderful Mom and Baba, loving sister, aunt, and caring friend. It has been five years since you peacefully passed away shortly after Dad told God that He could take you home if He wanted. While we mourned, we also celebrated your life and marvelled over your courage and the sheer will you demonstrated as you faced the challenges Life presented. How many times we have ached to simply pick up the phone and chat or stop by for a visit. How many times we have gone on about your delicious dills or wistfully recalled your amazing pie crusts. Little things? Maybe, to some. To us, they are tangible reminders of your love. And, even after your hands were unable to pick cucumbers or roll out dough, you found ways to nourish us. You never stopped loving all of us and the devotion you and Dad showed to each other was the stuff of legends. We smile knowing that you are surely dancing up a storm or tending to another garden, together with Dad. We still feel your love because that is something that will never die. As Winnie the Pooh said: "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." It's still hard, Mom. And, we were awfully lucky. Vichnaya Pamyat. May your memory be eternal. -Remembered always, the "Kohuch" kids and grandkids
