Mama Where did you go? You were doing so well, You were getting up out of bed yourself putting on your slippers and you walked into the living room and you always said "good morning, how are you?" My mother died suddenly unexpectedly. I don't think she knew. Her heart stopped and she stopped breathing. I came into her room just 3 or 4 minutes too late.
My mother Zoriana Sokolsky, what a beautiful name Zoriana was born on September 12, 1931. That's 94 years of life. She lived through history. A history that none of us can imagine. From the first time she saw a car with bright headlights approaching her on the road and she jumped into the ditch because she didn't know what those big eyes were, to our modern age where she bought a laptop computer in early 1990's and signed up with AOL 1.0 and learned to do all her banking automatically and online to wanting to buy a Tesla and have it drive her to Florida. My mother was always young. She was a survivor. She was always responsible for herself and for her family.
I thank everyone for coming here today to join us in saying goodbye to a beautiful, colourful lady.
