Dear Irena, My sincere condolences. I am very sorry for your loss. Your dear mom was beautiful both inside and out, and she had a heart of gold. She was very kind and sweet. I remember spending time with your mom and you in the early 1990s. She was also an amazing hostess whenever we visited her. With love, Angie, Sophia and Paul XO
Gerhard and Susana Steckling Our deepest condolences to her family. We always remember her as a warmhearted and caring woman. May she rest in peace.
Dearest Mother (Mami). Wishing you a Happy Heavenly Birthday today (Jan 23). You are so dearly missed. Hoping you can feel the light from the candles at St. Theresa (Little Flower) at St. Michael’s Cathedral, and leaving you flowers on your special day. With much Love, Until We Meet Again. Your daughter, Miriam
Joining all those celebrating dear Mother’s Birthday today (Jan 23) in spirit. May she be dancing and enjoying in heaven! ✨ We love you and honour you dear Mother, Marija, Kiki!
Rojstni dan drage mame v nebesih. Danes bi bila draga mama stara 82 let. Naj pleše in uživa v nebesih! Ljubimo te draga mama.
Draga teta Marija.
Vedno smo te bili veseli, k nam si prinesla veselje in radost. Bia si vedno odprtega duha, razgledana in radostna. Žal nam je da smo tako daleč, ker bi te redno obiskovali.
Mir in ljubezen s tabo,
Papeževi iz Slovenije
Here is dear Mother’s memorial plaque in the Lakeshore cemetery in Niagara. And her beloved lake swim spot… even the moon is watching over her. Peace and love always.
(and in Slovenian) –
To je materin spomenik na pokopališču Lakeshore v Niagari. In tukaj je njeno ljubljeno jezero. Tudi mesec pazi na njo. Mir in ljubezen vedno.
Honouring dear Mother’s (who I called Kiki) adventurous spirit in beloved Hawai’i (from 2011).
