"Baba... what can we say? Lots!

If you were lucky enough to remember the farm, you all bounced around in the back of the truck or on top of bales; with no license, Baba was behind the wheel. Watching her take care of the chickens and wondering why they ran around with no heads. She was always making perogies and pies. Tending to her flowers and the garden, especially the peas! Baba made sure we were always fed, whether it was jam, pies, or the parade hamburgers, you never left hungry or empty handed.

She'd bring us the BBC and all the gossip. Together for parades, fairs, Ukrainian Christmas, and so many other events. Baba gave us love and connection, cousins who grew up together, and then kids had their own kids and have also grown up together. Baba supported and encouraged us all, in the good and bad, she was always there.

From sporting events to making you a snack late at night after a night out, graduations, births, and weddings. Whatever we did, she was there, always proud and wanting to know about all the things we did. 

What do you say about her, except that she is a legacy who has inspired and is a part of us all. Because of her, we know fun, hard work, love and family like many never will. To be a part of Molly and Mike's legacy is an honor and a privilege."
