My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I met Maria at the Bowview and saw her nearly every day. She liked sitting in the doorway of her room and we frequently talked. She told me about growing up in the Ukraine and her life during the war in Germany. She talked about her family and immigrating to Canada. Maria had loved to cook and was alway looking forward to Helen’s visit and all the home cooked food and goodies she brought. There are so many things I remember about Maria . She loved to critique the food in the dinning room but the chef made sure she always had a small bowl of tomatoes at lunchtime .there are so many memories. I have missed her since the lock down.

My deepest sympathy
