Thinking of you mom as I picked up music for the wake. Thank you for being there for me and for being my mom. We all love and miss you.
Kryzkij family. Your mom was a wonderful woman who will be very missed. I am so sorry for your loss and I feel lucky to have known your wonderful mom.
Uggie,
What a huge loss this is for our family, but an even more profound loss for me personally. You were a huge role model for me growing up and taught me so many things. You were the most selfless person I ever met, you were absolutely beautiful, inside and out, you loved your family more than anything in this world, you were an amazing Mom who would do anything for her children, you were a strong woman, you played hard, but loved even harder. You taught me that people can love other people, but not always in the ways that we need or want them to. You listened, showed me both sides to everything, never judged and loved everyone for exactly who they were regardless of what anyone else thought. You always put everyone else first and yourself last. I know that life was tough at times and that you didn’t deserve some of the hands that were dealt to you, but you always had your head held up high and never wavered even during the tough times. You lived your life with grace, dignity and love for everyone. You had fun, you kept things light, and you lit up a room when you walked in to it. I learned from watching you what I wanted in my life and what I didn’t want in my life so thank you for helping me break the cycle. My one wish in life for you was to be able to see through our eyes what a wonderful and amazing woman you are and that you deserved so much in life. You also had many blessings that I know you were thankful for every day. You have 3 wonderful sons, beautiful grandchildren, sisters that love you very much and nieces that adored you, but also never took the time to tell you how much of an impact you really had on them. I’m thankful for the time that I did get to spend with you growing up and I will cherish those memories, always. I will always remember your words about our family….”Even though we may not see each other often, we are always there for each other when we need to be.” Now those are words that each of us should live by. The thing that brings me the greatest comfort now is knowing that you are not longer suffering or hurting and are in a much better place. You will always be my Uggie! Rest in Peace, I love you and until we meet again….Your niece, Cher

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. Please know that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ are aware of the pain, and they care about you. May you find comfort in God’s promise to rid the earth of all pain and suffering, which includes death. (Revelation 21:4) Seeing those you have lost, once again here on earth, my means of the resurrection hope found at John 5:28, 29. Many have gained hope and courage knowing this, may you do the same.
