Dear Families of Luba,
So very sorry for your loss. Even though we lost touch when our parents passed away, we were able to reconnect recently and shared a lot of memories from 50 some years ago. I never forgot how she took me under her wings when I was just a teenager. She will be always be in my thoughts and what a wonderful person she was.
Take care and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to everyone.
Fondly,
Hanna Egorenko Short

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear mother. I worked with her at the A&P many years ago and always found her to be a loving, kind person and hard worker. I am sure her passing is heartbreaking for those who loved her but I hope it helps to know others were touched by her throughout the years and she will always be remembered with great fondness. My deepest sympathy!
