Natalie, we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. Mrs. S was a wise woman with always lots of good advice to give. She always wished the best for us. I've known her for 30 yrs and remembered my first encounter with her having Dim Sum together. Mrs. S & Natalie took yoga classes at the JCC many yrs ago and at the end of class she heard a lady say, "no mistakes". It was supposed to be "Namaste" - that story still tickles me today! So Namaste Mrs. S, you are in our thougts and prayers. XOXO
I never met you Diko but we looked forward to talking every weekend during Covid. As you know if it wasn't for Covid we would never had talked. During our calls I was going through some major changes including moving on my own for the first time and you always said the right thing. You would always ask hour my children and grandchildren were but you always brought the conversation back to me and how am I. I have a really big family and I found it very strange that someone who really did not know me would be interested in what I was doing even though you did not have to.
Thank you for getting me through my first year on my own, be at peace.
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful soul and person. My deep condolences and love to the whole family. She was always Natalie’s amazing mom to me and I will always remember her loving energy, smile and kindness. I carry her memory in my heart and am here for anything I can do, Natalie and Andrew. Love to both of you.
My brother and I grew up across the street from "Dikie", and I have many memories of her, from her being one of our first (and only) customers when we set up a lemonade stand, to catching her and waving when she would do her daily walks on her driveway. I feel very fortunate to have had a neighbour who cared so much about us through the ups and downs of life, and having heard some of her stories I know she was not a stranger to that as well. Lots of love and appreciation for the life you led, we will miss you dearly.
