Edna and Julius,
We were so very sad to hear of our lovely Tekla’s passing. As I was leaving to visit her on my lunch, I was given the sad news that I had just missed her. All the staff here at Kingsmere, as well as her neighbours and friends send you our deepest condolences. Tekla will be greatly missed by all who know and loved her. She was such a beautiful woman and she will always be fondly remembered. Much love to your entire family.

Edna, Julius and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you all. I have wonderful memories growing up next door, spending a lot of time with your mom having fun and learning. So happy to hear you had so many wonderful years together.

When we heard the news of the passing of Tekla Lachs, we wanted to
convey our deepest condolences to her children, Edna and Julius,
and their families and friends in various parts of the world.

Then we reflected on our “Tante Tona” who was such an influential
figure in our childhoods and youth. She was larger than life –
elegant, funny, perky and quirky. She had a zest for life
and was a natural magnet with her easy laugh and sense of humor.
Tante Tona charmed us all and we appreciated her talents – sewing,
cooking, baking and telling jokes. Such a flair she had.

We are grateful for all the years she lived a full life, surrounded
by family and friends. Her passing will leave a great void,
but the remembrance of this unique woman will leave many smiles.

Her three god-daughters,

Ramona Laizans Poliseno (Montreal)
Vija Opolnieks Tracy (Daytona Beach, Florida)
Maija Opolnieks (Montreal).

Condolences also sent from Robert Opolnieks (Brampton) and Hedy
Ozolins (Montreal)

Edna and Julius, my mom and I remember your mom as such a wonderful, fun-loving lady. What a joy when she was around! Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

Edna, Junior and families
Our condolences on the passing of your mother and grandmother.
The Lachs were wonderful neighbours to the Kings; the good old days on the 6th Line of Albion. “Toni” holds a special place in our hearts as she made Wanda’s wedding dress 35 years ago.

I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Please accept our condolences.
May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead.
