Thanks, Millie for your message. She really loved spending time with your Mom and with the rest of your family.
We the Sikora family will miss your mom. My friendship with your mom was always so pleasant and inviting no matter where we visited. When visiting with her after the Hillview Lodge in Drumheller was built she shared many stories of herself and the family I will treasure these visits and the memories they hold. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Ron and Millie Boruk
Hard to believe we are coming up to 5 years since Johanna's passing. My fondest memory was baking Easter bread at cousin Carol Hryniuk's about 35 years ago. Your mom was visiting and once Carol and I were done at about 9 o'clock she pulled out the pans and began making a batch of her own. I think she finished about 4am. Fond, fond memories of your visits to us in Winnipeg as far back as 55 years (at least that's the limit of my memory). :'
