My condolences to the family and those who knew her, I work with Andre and I know a bit of how much he values his mum. May her soul rest inpeace.

I will always remember Aunty Stasia as a loving and caring woman. A woman who always made me fell loved and accepted. I may not be a "Dias" by blood, but she never made me feel like anything but a loved and welcomed part of the family. I love you Aunty Stasia. You will be missed.

Evan, Dennis & I are so sorry for your loss, You have been a wonderful husband to your dear wife, You looked after her well.

We are sorry to miss the funeral, Dennis has not been well lately.

My condolences to the family & all who knew & loved this gem of a lady. As a friend of her niece Marcelline I only met “Marces Aunti Sta “ a few times. Our first meeting was memorable & I’ve loved the stories I’ve heard told with laughter & love. My wish is for the memories of her laughter & love to bring peace during this difficult time and in the days ahead. May she rest gently in the arms of the angels RIP

Heaven has added an Angel; STA was a kind Soul who's touched so many people’s lives. A larger-than-life woman. I will cherish all the wonderful memories of time together with her & my family. Especially the ones of her and my children, her witty personality and infectious laugh. I am praying for your peace and comfort. We love you all. Juliana, Mark, Gary Jr. Nancy, Fabian and Diane

Sorry to see Mrs. Paterson pass. She was like a second mother to us in high school.

Lots of love to Andre, even, Amanda and all the family.

Sending you all our very deepest condolences on the loss of your mother, Andre. Thinking of your family during this time of grief and if we can do anything or help in any way, please let us know. Hugs. Pat & Nicole

Anastasia brought a bright light wherever she went. She was very special to all of us at Memory Plus Alumni. Her bright smile, infectious laugh, the sparkle in her eyes. I will miss her very much. My heart goes out to her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you peace and comfort. Mary McKeown

On behalf of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Calgary, where Anastasia was a participant in the Side by Side program conceived and directed by Alice Post, we would like to extend our condolences for your loss. It was heartening to read about all of Anastasia's achievements and interests throughout her life, and to know that she has a loving extended family to support Evan, as well as the professional spiritual care provided by the pastors at First Baptist, where she and Evan are members. We celebrate that she was “most remembered for her spirit and laughter. When she went to the support groups, she always had a happy demeanor.”

May God bless and keep you; all may Anastasia’s memory be a blessing to you.

Rev. Geoffrey Simmins, Interim Pastoral Care Minister, St. Andrew’s.

My heart felt condolences to Uncle Pat, Andre and Amanda. May Aunty rest in heavenly peace. This is so sad my heart goes out to all. God Bless.

To my dearest Uncle Pat, Andre and Amanda,

My heart hurts for the pain you are all feeling through this difficult time, but know that you all worked together to ensure she had everything she needed, you continued to ensure she was doing things she loved and spent special moments with her which you will cherish forever. Aunty Sta is looking down on us and smiling, or laughing as she always did, and proud of her family and all the joy and love she had here on earth.

Andre, Amanda, Kim, Dexter, Rebecca, Jarred, Julianne, Kent and Patrick, we love you guys all so much and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Lisa, Ian, Melissa, Nicholas, Hailey, Josh and Easton

To My Dearest Uncle Pat,

I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss, in my eyes you were our Aunty Stasia's Rock of Gibraltar, you loved her unconditionally and she loved you right back with all her heart.

Although our hearts are broken with the loss of the most wonderful and loving aunt in the world, I know that in time we will heal, in time we will find a way to focus on the cherished memories we hold in our hearts, in time we will find the strength to celebrate Aunty Stasia's life.

I miss you Aunty Stasia, I will never stop loving you and I am forever grateful you welcomed me into your home when I was 17 and loving me my like a daughter. I enjoyed it when you spoiled me with Blue Jays tickets. I will never forget your excitement when the Jays won their first and second World Series. I loved making carrot cake, veal and chicken parmigiana with you. My goodness, you taught me so many things in life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your unwavering love.

Uncle Pat, Andre, Amanda, Dexter, Kim, Rebecca, Julianne, Jarred & Patrick, you are all in my prayers,

Much Love,

Little Judes

As sad as I am feeling today, I have so many great memories of my beloved Aunt.

Cornel and I shared our first cruise with my Aunt and Uncle. That was the beginning of many more cruises together.

Our families spent countless summers together renting cottages etc.,

She will forever be in my heart and memories.

Our deepest condolences go to my Uncle Evan, my Cousin Andre and his family and my Cousin Amanda and her family.

I love you Aunty and will miss you.

Cornel, Marcelline, Chad, Selena, Ayden, Paige, Monique and Francis.

Andre and family, I commiserate with you at this period and I pray God to comfort you and may her soul continue to rest in peace. I pray for strength to bear this loss. Amen

From Adebola

There's never a good time to lose a mum, no matter how old they are. I pray for comfort, the kind only God can give. Rest in God ma'am.

Hi Andre,

Please accept my sympathies on the loss of your mother. I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Warm Regards Jasleen
