Two memories come to mind, as I remember your Mom.
First, the many conversations around the kitchen table on Kirkwall, when your Mom never failed to join in with us…as recently as just before the sale of the house.
Secondly, your Mom making you call around after a ‘party at Al’s’ to find out who took the back seat from her VW.
I am smiling as I write this, remembering the special person who was your Mom ❤️
Much love to all of you at the sad time
Walter & family,
I was saddened to hear of Verna’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family. As her Health Care assistant it was a pleasure to get to know her
Walter, Allyson and family,

Dear Allyson and Family.
We are so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. We wish you much comfort, peace, and many happy memories of her to get you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jane, Tim and Sylvia
Dear Walter,Allyson, Mark and Family, We are most saddened on the passing of your dear mother and gran. My fondest memories of Verna was at the cottage in Otter Falls. She was always so welcoming and hospitality! She loved our children and was so excited when they would sing Ukrainian songs and entertain your parents.
Verna also made my favourite carrot cake with the best creamy icing. She was most happy when l visited them just on a whim and wanted to know the latest news on everyone. Rest In Peace Verna and we will see you on the other side
Dear Walter, Allyson, Mark, and families,
We are so sorry to hear of Auntie Verna’s passing. She was a great lady and will be missed. My favourite Verna memory is from when we were kids and everyone was in her kitchen visiting, while she threw together breakfast for ten or twelve like it was nothing. The last touch, the thing that I will never forget, was Verna buzzing up the OJ in the blender so it would be fresh and frothy for the kids. It may seem like a small touch, but darn it was good.
We send our love,
Wade Kotelo and Andrea Kines
Dear Mark and family,
So very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have very fond memories of time spent with the Domanski’s at Otter Falls. Your Mom’s wit and charm will always be remembered. Hoping the wonderful memories you have of your Mom will help you through this most difficult time.
Love Desiree and Gregg Derlago
Uncle Walter, Ally, and Mark,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of Aunt Verna. She was a truly larger than life person who had such a positive impact on all around her. Her famous hospitality, candor, and warmth will be long remembered. My favourite memories of her are in fact all of them over the decades visiting your home and at Otter Falls.
With love,
Clay Kotelo
Dearest Mr Domanski, Ally, Mark and family,
Just found out from my dad (Guy Lemire) that your mom passed away. Your mom knew how to make people feel special and loved. Always positive and with a sense of humour. I fondly remember your parents visits to our home and our camping trips together. May your memories of her bring a smile to your face. May you experience God’s comfort and peace at this time.
