You Are Invited to the Celebration of Nada’s Life

You’re invited for the last visit at the Glen Oaks Memorial Gardens (3164 Ninth Line, at 403 & Dundas St., Oakville, 905-257-1100), on Saturday, March 12 at 10:00 a.m.

After the visitation, the celebration of life service starts at 11 a.m. At this time we will watch a 12-minute video dedication to Nada’s life, set to music by Sade and Natalie Cole.

I will say a few words, if I will be able, but most importantly we’d like to hear from you! Feel free to stand up and take as much time as you need to remember the good times you experienced with Nada. Or simply tell us how Nada touched your life. If you’ve never met Nada that’s OK, you can still share with us. Remember, we’re celebrating Nada’s life, not mourning.

There will be a live musical performance by Adrienne Pringle, who will sing us a song she wrote for our kids Maja and Luka. Adrienne wrote the music and lyrics around the few important words Nada wanted to leave to the kids to remember.

At around noon we will leave the chapel for internment of the urn. At this time you will be able to place a memento inside the urn vault. This can be a letter to Nada or any small object you’d like Nada to have along for the last journey.

After the funeral we will all return to the main building for lunch. It will be an opportunity for all of us to reacquaint with one another, or perhaps meet for the first time.

I hope to see you there.

  2. Dear Boris and children,

    It was an honour to meet Nadica and be part of her circle of care. We wish we could have known her when she was well. The pictures show she was a happy healthy young woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children.

  3. I am just in shock to hear of Nada’s passing. I used to sit at the Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre with her and gab about our kids. My son, Aidan, went to school with Luca and my daughter, Piper, is a year younger than Maja. Piper used to follow Maja around all the time when we saw each other. Nada was such a lovely, personable lady, and we always would stop to chat at swimming lessons or at Post’s Corners. It’s been a little while since I’ve seen Nada because I had gone back to work from maternity leave and so I had no idea she was ill. My deepest sympathies go out to the family and, especially, to Luca and Maja. I cannot imagine leaving my own kids at such a young age. God bless her and all of you.

  4. Hi Boris,
    I am terribly sorry for your loss. Life is so unfair when it comes to losing our closest.
    Simply can’t find enough words to describe this tragedy. Please accept our sincere condolences.
    Our prayers are with you and your family.

  5. Dear Boris:
    It was with sadness we received the news of Nada’s passing. We only met Nada once and she made an impression of being a strong woman with a great passion for any venture she had decided to take on. She spoke about the courses she was exited to start. The memory of her for you and the children, will no doubt always be that of support and encouragement to live life fully and with a passion. She came across as a women who makes a difference in peoples lives.
    Our thoughts are with you and your children Boris for this time of healing and adjusting.

    With love,
    Margareta & Eric

  6. Dear Boris,
    I just had a brief encounter with Nada during a recent retouching assignment for my company.
    Even though I spoke only twice on the phone with Nada, I felt as though I knew her for years!
    She was so generous and helpful and a complete pleasure not only working with but speaking to.
    I am deeply saddened and extend my sincere condolences to you and your entire family.

    Warmest,
    John Ferrentino
