In 1956 she immigrated with her family to Canada, where she remained for the rest of her life.

Memories live forever,
They grow richer through the years,
They are nurtured by our laughter,
They are watered by our tears,
Memories live forever,
Sent from heaven up above,
To eternally connect us,
To the people we love.
