Magda was an exceptional friend to me and I will miss her beyond words. We enjoyed numerous experiences when younger which later provided many memories of our most laughable choices and adventures. She certainly touched the hearts of many with her kindness and good humour. My sincerest condolences to her family. Magda truly was a gem.

Never in a million years did I think that I would loose you my dearest friend Magda… It seems surreal to me as we just conversed after your surgery when you were in rehab…Till we can dance again my dear friend ….
Condolences to Lenka and Family and to Monica and Family and to Peter … Take Care of each other as my words are worthless in your time of sorrow

Magda was a warm and wonderful person who I have known for a number of years because of our real estate careers. We connected immediately and shared the same niche in real estate specializing in seniors and older adults who, together with their families, seek a realtor with compassion and understsnding. We spoke on the phone or met up from time to time and I greatly respected her sage advice. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
