Adam,Larissa,and Wanda;
We are deeply saddened on the loss of Ania. We were priviledged to have her as a neighbour and as a friend. We will miss her friendly wave as we passed and the good fun we shared as we worked our garden. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Adam, Larissa, and Families
My sincere sympathy for the sudden loss of your mom. I went to nursing school with Ania and some of my best memories are of times spent with her. There was a group of us who gravitated towards each other, mostly because we were the "mature students", although I think there wasn't too much "mature" about us!! We enjoyed many Friday nights having a "few" drinks at your home in Port Dalhousie and discussing the trials and tribulations of our impending carrer choice. A great bond was formed over those 3 years and even though we have not kept in close contact, our meetings always began and ended with a hug and a laugh.
Your mom was a compassionate, warm, and caring person who brought those attributes to the palliative nursing profession. Your mom has touched many people and she will be missed.

I had the priveledge of meeting Ania while we were both in Nursing School Training. She was a wonderful "mother" figure, and we all loved her. She always had a special connection with her patients. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. Adam....I am thinking of you in these dark hours. I truly believe in my heart that you will see your Mom again someday. I know she loved you and Larrisa very much, and she was espeically kind, generous and loving to my Brother, Chris. Please know that even though I am way out in BC, I am thinking of you, and your wonderful Mother. Heaven has another Angel.

I would like to offer my sincere sympathy to Ania's family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. Working with her as a nurse at Hotel Dieu and then SCGH was great. She had a wonderful sense of humour, and was very proud of her family. You have to remember her with a smile, because she could brighten any day. God bless.

Ania was a dear friend and an amazing influence on my life and career as a Nurse.
She was my preceptor though pre-grad, and my colleague throughout the following 15 years.
She took me under her wings and taught me what it meant to be a Nurse. She gave me strength and guidance when I needed it and let me spread my wings and with her encouragement let me lead my own path.
She inspired strength and compassion in the most difficult times, and was always put forth a lending hand, a smile, and an ever so hearing ear when it was needed most by anyone that was fortunate enough to know her.
I am forever grateful to her for teaching me what it means to be a Nurse and a loving, caring, compassionate and strong individual that embraces life and lives it from the heart.
I will miss my colleague and my friend.
May the Angels sing softly as you rest upon their wings Ania.

Dear Adam and Lara,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I have so many fond memories of our times together on Rockwood, when we all met, cooking hotdogs off the QEII by the water, and many other times. Your mother was such a lovely woman, with grace and elegance. I think we brought out the best in each other as young mothers, motivated each other and had many good times. My heart goes out to you both at this sad time and my prayers are with you.
Love,
Fran

I graduated with Ania from Niagara College School of Nursing in 1986. While in school, we were almost inseparable but have drifted apart over the years. We had great times together and those memories have always been some of my best. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

my buddy adam, larissa, and wanda,
i just came home from work and found an email with this sad news. i can't tell you how awful this feels. i loved your mom (and daughter) very much; indeed she was an influence on me in my teen years as she certainly was to you. many people here have expressed how much they loved being around your mom, and i am no exception. she treated me for who i am, and was one of the most non-judgemental people i have ever met. she seemed to not have time for that sort of thing, choosing instead to live for the moment and have a good time, no matter who was around. her wit and desire to learn more in life was infectuous, her laugh omnipresent. she taught me that it was okay to have a good time, everytime, everywhere. i will carry that with me, as i have since the mid-80s when i first met her, forever. i will truly miss not seeing her again.
adam, if you need anything at all you can get me at this email address, or get my number (the same one that has been for years now) from my parents. i want to talk with you. stay strong everyone.

Larissa and family,
I was deeply saddened by the passing of your mother. I know the kind of work your mother did was very demanding, emotionally draining and also very much needed and appreciated by the families of those she helped.
I wanted to send my condolences, Larissa, even though it has been many years since we worked together at Herbie's.
My deepest and sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family.

Dear Adam
I was shocked and saddened to read your mother's obit today. Much too young. I wanted to be at the memorial service on Saturday, but we have begun preparation for a pour on Saturday and once the process has begun it has to be followed through. Your mother and Jim used to come out to pours on a regular basis. They both found the birthing of the art works to be extremely exciting. Tomorrow I'll have them both in my memory as we cast the bronze. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ania was a warm, kind and caring person and as a co-worker was always there for support and guidance both personally and professionaly. Ania had a way of seeing straight into your heart and warming it when it was cold with her gentle words and caring touch. She will be greatly missed by all. Blessings to all who loved this special person. Sandy

Dear Larissa and Adam:
My deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones on the death of your dear mother.
I have many wonderful memories of Ania while she was employed at Hotel Dieu Hospital. She believed in our mission of healing and she participated in it 100% and more.
We took time to chat and enjoy each other's company while at work. She often spoke to me of both of you and loved you so deeply. You indeed were her life.
When I think of Palliative Care Staff, Ania is one who quickly comes to my mind, and in my opinion she epitomized the profession of nursing to a T.
Ania believed in wholistic care and made sure all needs were addressed...in that, she would call pastoral care for emotional and spiritual needs of both patient's and their family.
I remember many times Ania reaching out and giving a family member a hug....and her graceful
and kind demeanor invited others to easily approach her.
My very last memory was when I did see Ania on the palliative care unit last fall and her response when we greeted one another was a great big hug, and that I will treasure.
Yes, Ania's death is very untimely and we cannot find answers. I do hope that you can find some solace in knowing that she gave her all to everything she did. Ania will continue to be for me an inspiration, and I believe that our loving God said to her on her entrance into heaven, "Well Done, Good and Faithful Woman".
You are very much in my prayers during this very sad time and always.
Love and prayers,
Sister Louise

To Ania's family
I would like to express my deepest sympathy. Your mother Ania was an energetic and compassionate nurse who always gave of herself.
I worked with Ania in the 1980's at the Hotel Dieu hospital and we shared many, many hours together. Through the busy day shift and the dark fleeting quiet moments of the night shift we often shared stories of family. Of course we also tried to solve all the world's problems, but that is what nurses try to do.
My memories of Ania seem to relect the sense of family she had. Ania often spoke of family and shared the joy her family brought her. I felt like I knew her whole family even though I had never met them. I was single at the time with no children of my own so I was unable to give any advice...of course I did anyway and I am sure she shook her head and thought to herself "wait until she has children of her own".
Her gentle outspoken nature allowed Ania to get her message across while being ever aware of the receiver's feelings. This is a trait not many possess. Ania always strived for better patient care and for fairness.
Ania will be missed by her fellow nurses and friends. Make no mistake, this tragedy has made all of us stop and reflect on our memories of someone taken so young and so suddenly.
There is a deep sadness over Hotel Dieu as many staff in all the departments stop and reflect.
We remember your mother with tears yet with a smile as we mourn the loss of this wonderful nurse yet remember the many, many good times we all shared with her.
God Bless You All and Remember
Ania always gave of herself but the best parts of her are left with her dearly beloved family.
I will keep all of you and Ania in my prayers.

Adam and Lara,
Please know that the thoughts of all your Ottawa cousins are with you during what we can only imagine to be a very difficult time. We know that you enjoyed a very special relationship with your Mom and that over the next few months your days will seem endlessly long without her presence in your lives. In the end, we are sure that she would have been comforted in the fact that you both have strong, loving partners to help you through this. No doubt, she would also have known that your children (now, and soon to come) would give meaning to your lives and heal your pain through many moments of laughter and joy in the months and years ahead.
Sorry we can
