Great obit/eulogy Auntie Angie. Your mother was fortunate to have someone like you caring for her. While I've known you my entire life I didn't know your family or their history. I can now see that we both were working kids. Tough life. But I guess that's why we can endure the hard labor. It was ingrained into us. From reading the story of your mother's life I now see that your demeanor wasn't just some rare anomaly. It was passed down to you from your mother. In the true sense of the word, she was a "Trooper", and so are you!

Thank you Glenn. Yes mother passed a lot of her qualities down to me but the best was to always show love.

Ron and I send our deepest condolences to Angie, Roly and all the Rogocki family.
Angie, I have fondest memories of your Mom coming to our house (in the Maples) for a “coffee break” from helping your Dad - polishing the floors of the new homes in our area. I was a new Mom then (was over 50 years ago) but I remember having the greatest conversations (mostly about you Angie)!
Cherish all the precious memories you shared. God’s Blessings to all of you.
Vichnaya Pam’yat.

My deepest condolences to all members of the Rogocki family. Nellie and her husband Stanley were life long Castle Avenue neighbours and a Falcon Lake close neighbor. Nellie was a woman who always displayed kindness and her love for her family was always evident in her words and smiles. She will be missed by all but her memory lives on forever. Peace be with you all

Deepest sympathies to all the family on the loss of your mom and grandma. When I look at her picture, I see Baba and auntie Rosie. The three of them look alike. Now they are together again. May the memory of her live on in your hearts forever.

Dear Baba
In so many ways, without even knowing it - you taught me strength, courage and resiliency. I will never forget the way you smelt, your beautiful soft, well looked after skin. Your laughter - especially if I caught you cheating at hohla, or if you made me cry because you convinced me the boogeyman lived in your basement on Castle.
I always knew who to call for the most sound advice on anything. Especially advice on being a mama, "Well of course they (babies) cry a lot Ashleigh- they are growing their lungs". I always made sure to "wrap my babies up tight" regardless of what the public health nurse said. You were right. They did sleep better.
In so many ways you were right, and most especially in the way you made perogies. I know everybody's Baba "made the best perogies". But I'd put a million bucks on it Baba, yours were the best.
I cherish all the memories of times in the summer spent at Falcon Lake with you. When mom and dad would drop me off, I felt like the luckiest kid on earth. I could convince you and Gigi to buy me toys at Foodfare and take me to the Nest for breakfast. But most especially, I just loved spending time with you. I would watch how you did everything. How you cleaned, how you dotted on Gigi. The way you spoke Ukrainian, like it was your secret language. The image of you watching over me from the shores of that little beach beside block 9 lot 19 while I swam, will be forever etched in my memory. I was in awe of you.
You are partially to blame why I moved to live by a lake "so far away" ;) You made me yearn to be at a lake. Thank you for each and every childhood right through to adulthood lake memory. They are a big part of who I am today.
You were just short of your 97th birthday. Age only sweetened your beauty right up until your final breath. I could always feel your love for me in all our calls from wherever I was "all over the place" as you would say. The last call , just last week, I was so lucky to have, with both of my girls and Yoann by my side, we all got to tell you we loved you and you said it back 5 times. It meant a lot to my girls too Baba. Leive is 8 and Orphea 5 and we were all crying, tears of sadness but tears of joy for the love we always felt from you. Your life leaves a legacy of dignity and grace for us to proudly follow in your footsteps.
If there were all the Baba's in the world, lined up for me to choose one, I would always choose you.
Go dance and be free now. Come and see me when you can. Especially if you have a lead on any good wild mushroom or blueberry spots.
Vichnaya Pamyat my Baba "Louis"

Ashleigh what a beautiful memory to Baba. She loved you and your family, Adam and his family so very much. She was always saying when are the grandchildren coming in I would like to see them. She especially enjoyed your calls when you were taking nursing and just wanted to talk.

I am not sure I can articulate the deep loss I feel knowing that you had passed. You were a large part of my life from the very beginning, very much like a second mother. I am certain there were times when you felt the burden of looking after Shauna and I after having raised 4 of your own children. But you never made us feel like a burden.
Shauna and I always felt welcomed and wanted when we visited on weekends, Saturdays and throughout the summers growing up. I have so many fond memories of you that I will carry with me until the end of my days. You were game for just about everything we came up with from convincing you to perm our hair, walking to the falcon marina to get fries (knowing very well that we would have to dodge the swarms of wasps on the way home), to treating us to popsicles, chips and chocolate bars at the corner pharmacy.
Because of you I came to feel unconditional love. You were always interested in what I was doing and how I felt. You were always happy to see me and welcomed me into your home, asking me to come back soon. Your love for me never waivered. In this life we are lucky to be gifted one or two people that stand by us, defend us no matter what we do and whatever decisions we make. You were one of those people to me. So I can’t help but feel like my life just became a little less bright.
You were like the Yoda of the family Baba- wiser than anyone with a quiet strength and a great sense of humor. I loved hearing your stories, I always felt like there was a lessen in there somewhere. You had a strong understanding of how people felt, empathizing with all of us at different times. You loved everyone of us equally. You welcomed new members into our family as if they had always been there. There was an immense depth to your love.
In the last year of your life you mentioned many times that you will remember me as the one who would walk beside you. I guess everyone else seemed to walk faster then the two of us. I do remember walking beside you Baba. You spoke about it as if I held myself back to keep you company, but the whole time I felt like you walked with me so I wouldn’t walk alone.
Goodbye my Baba, you will never be forgotten

Shelly baba was so proud of who you and Shauna became. She loved your visits and oh how she kept telling me over and over what you did at the lake. Those times were so special to her because she had her little girls with her. How she laughed so many times when you cured Gigi hair. It always make her smile.

Can you change my tribute...I rewrote it. Here it is...
Heaven gained an angel and my heart is aching. Baba I have tried to write something to say goodbye but there are no words that can truly express for how I feel. I am not ready to let go. You were such a special person to me. You raised my sister and I like your own. I remember the countless times you took us to the store, to church and to the lake. I can remember you smelling like an angel always with your olay face cream. Your cooking was beyond amazing. You always made sure I ate and always wanted to feed me. The times at the lake will always be a special part of my life. You would watch me swim and yell when I went too far. You always got mad at me in the winter because I wouldn't wear winter boots. Well baba you should see me now. I look like an eskimo all bundled up. Every time I looked at my boots I think of you. You always had my back. You always asked me how I was doing and if things were okay in my life. Even when things weren't goin well you were that person that gave me the assurance that things would be ok. I always left feeling so positive and encouraged. Your words were so comforting and there wasn't a moment when you didn't pick me up when I was down. I am not ready to day goodbye baba. I will say see you again. I will always think of you and be grateful for all you gave me and taught me. You taught me love and commitment to our family. You were a strong person and I know you will be shining down on us. You are in my heart and will always be. Love you baba. Go be with gigi and be free. You smile will always be in my heart! ❤

I am so sorry for your loss and I pray that God gives you strength to carry on through the difficult days ahead without your Mom although I know she will always be present in your thoughts and in your heart.
I have such fond memories of your beloved Mother. When I was young I spent many hours by her side in her kitchen learning how to cook perogies, holopchi, apple pie, apple cake, little meat balls and many other dishes that, as a child growing up , we never ate. I still prepare many of those recipes and each time I do I always think of her. I loved her cooking and her quiet caring ways. I spent one morning alone with her to make cole slaw the way she liked it for Angie's hall shower. During that time she reminisced about her life on the farm when she was a child and I was so interested in her stories. I remember her being such a devoted Mom and so proud of her children. Those were the days before there were grand children.
I'm not sure that there is anything that could ever erase the pain of losing a mother, especially one who was so loving and caring as yours was. I know there will be a big hole in your heart that can never be filled but I hope you take comfort in the fact that she is now with the Lord and that one day you will be back in her embrace.
Sincerely Dina (Moerman) Reid

To my best Friend Angie (Godmother of my Daughter Sheri) and all of the Rogocki Family I’m heartbroken that you’re going through the pain of the loss of your beloved Mom. She was truly a very special Lady and I was blessed to feel part of your Family. Nellie without going into any detail you got me out of many a sticky situation and I’ll always remember how scared you were to do so, but did it anyway. I loved you like a second Mom and you have left your Family so many memories to cherish. Sending my deepest condolences and love to all the Family and wish I could be there at this time.
Sharon, Steve, and all the Soole Family

Mom I’ll be first to send you a tribute. I’m missing you more than anybody should miss anybody. My love for you was so deep. You were my heart. People sometimes say looking after your parents is a burden but mom for me it was a privilege. You could be so funny yet so serious. I wish you weren’t so scared all the time. I’m glad you know I didn’t leave you in the end I was there when you took your last breath and I held you for 2 1/2 hours before I finally told them you were gone. But it gave me time to give you a million kisses which should last till I see you again. So give Dad a big hug for me. I love you to the moon and back. Love you more, sorry mom I said it last. Goodnight my heart.
