Thinking of you, mom and dad, as we approach Easter, resting in the knowledge that you are with Him.  And that one day we will see each other again.❤️

Hey Mum,

We are thinking of you and Dad, as always.

Say hi to Dad for us!

Love,

Richard, Frances, Claire and Charles

One year .....I remember looking forward to our Friday visits. Holding hands and most of all making you laugh.  We had such a bond, one that I treasure.
Thank you for your love.  And I thank your family for sharing you with me. So blessed. I love you Teresaxx

A year has passed already and Although I did not visit with Teresa in person.   I was so very blessed to communicate with Teresa through  FaceTime together.   It was a time I looked forward to each time we connected.  Her daughter Linda would set it up for us and we would have a special time together always ending with thanks to God and His Word.    I was so very blessed to share and to receive from her and her daughter.  
I shall remember...

Our deepest condolences to Linda, Richard, Frances, Claire and Charles,
When we think of our dear Ciocia Teresa, one word comes to mind, GRACE.
We will always remember her with love.
May she Rest In Peace.
Love, 
Margaret, Stanley, James and Jesse xox

myles and myself   offer our Condolences ...

Today would have been mother's 88th birthday and I remember how her eyes would light up with every phone call and visit.   She had developed a personal relationship with some very special care workers. It was great to see their unique connection, and how they would interact and understand each other with just a wink or a smile.  I remember our talks about heaven and what it would be like. Now, mother knows personally what we had only imagined. The poem below was read at mother's funeral July 3 and I remember thinking how it reflected her heart so beautifully. In part, it read: 

A Letter from Heaven
From mum

“To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I’m writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,
‘I welcome you."....."I missed you while you were gone." 

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before.

It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night…My day was not in vain....

Dearest mum...remembering you on this day and always, with love and admiration.
Your daughter, Linda

Sharing one of our favorite wedding photos, taken of mother and dad, 63 years ago today, July 27, 1957.

Dear family and friends, 
Sixty-three years ago, on July 27, 1957, Teresa Duda married Victor Sadlowski.  Dad kept meticulous records, and in one file was a typewritten list of wedding guests who participated in this celebration.  On this day, we invite you to view the video that has been prepared by Dignity Memorial that includes a selection of photo memories of mother's life  and the one she built with dad.
Love from the family.

Thinking of you today, Linda, as you remember your mother.  I hope you are taking comfort in the stories of her life, the support of friends and family, and her legacy that will live on in all who loved her. 

Elizabeth Lewis

Thinking about you and your dear Mom this Mother’s Day, Linda. While I didn’t have the opportunity to meet her, I feel I've come to know her through working with you and reading all the wonderful tributes on this page. You must be so very proud of your Mom – and I can only imagine how very much pride she must have had in you. I know her loss has left a big hole in your life right now. I can tell you, after the loss my own dear Mom last year, that this hole won’t ever entirely go away, but it will grow smaller in time.  And what will help fill it in somewhat will be all the loving memories you have of your Mom. Know too that your many friends are always here, for you to continue sharing these memories with – and to lean on whenever you need the added support of caring hearts. Be of good courage/bon courage, my friend and God bless – Kathy. 

Thinking of you Mum on Mother's Day.

Love,

Richard, Frances, Claire and Charles

Has it already been one month? Thank you to all for sharing your memories, thoughts and prayers. This photo was sent by Christine, taken on September 7, 1949 when mother along with other orphans had arrived in Canada. Mom is wearing the white dress with pig tails and probably 16 or 17 years old. Christine is below, in a black sweater and beret,  8 or 9 years old. Mom was Christine's 'big sister.' Danuta, who commented below, had roomed with mother. Knowing everything the orphans had experienced, I am drawn to mother's smile. It shows that one can still smile after having faced such adversity and uncertainty.

May God bring comfort to the Sadlowski family. We are praying for you. It's wonderful to see that Mrs Sadlowski and her husband had such a wonderful life together. It is evident on the pictures that they had that once-in-a-lifetime relationships. I'm so glad that I had the honor of knowing Linda for about seven years and could learn so much about her Mom from our discussions during our Bible sharing sessions. Knowing God makes all the difference! Be blessed.

It was saddening to hear that Teresa passed away, please accept my deepest sympathy, may my condolences bring you comfort and may my prayers ease the pain of this loss.

Dear Linda & Richard Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother, a beautiful person and very kind soul who took care of me as a Big Sister when we were in Africa and Canada, writing letters on my behalf and making sure my needs were taken care off.

I feel Blessed to have been part of her life in Africa and Canada when we were young and starting our lifes.  Teresa will be dearly missed and May God Bless the Family at this time.

May her soul rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss it must of been hard the last few weeks.
From the first day I met your mother I had a soft spot for her as she was always keeping an eye on my mom at lunch time while living at the home.
God bless and Stay strong 

While I have not had the pleasure of meeting Teresa, I have had the privilege of hearing experiences with her from the perspective of her daughter Linda, who is a dear friend of mine. From what I have heard, what I can assuredly say is that Teresa was dearly loved and cared for...by her daughter, her son and family, her caregivers, and many others, but most importantly, by God. 

While I am saddened to hear of her passing, I also know what it represents: that Teresa Frances Duda Sadlowski entered her rest in her heavenly home. The Lord made a way for a blessed homegoing, and He answered the desire of Teresa's heart: to depart this side of eternity in the spring and not the winter. She is safely in the arms of Jesus and is in a place of no tears and no pain. 

I remember this picture from a Christmas card....it is a beautiful representation of the love Teresa received from her family.

With heartfelt condolences,
Anna 

Linda, I remember "meeting" your mum via FaceTime.   You included colleagues in your daily conversations with your mum as you brought the world outside to her bedside.     You were steadfast in your support of your mother, a faithful and devoted daughter, and her rock.   Your special bond with your mum was palpable.   I am so sorry for your loss.  May you find comfort in your faith and your many loving memories of your mother.

Dear Mrs Linda, Mr Richard and Mrs Frances,  all my sympathies for the last journey of your mother Mrs Teresa (Duda) Sadlowski. I have presided for her the Sacrament of the Sick on February 9, 2020 while you were present and since her room became a Chapel until her last breath on February 20, 2020. As the Hospital Chaplain's, I recognize that she was among us for each Sunday Mass smiling to other residents and volunteers. She was a wise woman with deep faith, perseverance, and with great courage. Thanksgiving and happy hope!                                               (Into yuur hands, I commend my spirit, O Lord) (Luke 23:46).
Father Louis Turcotte, CJM

Teresa was and is my angel. I cherish the time we spent together. Teresa never ceased to show her love and I feel blessed to have received that love.

We laughed and yes, sometimes cried. Teresa did not hide her feelings.

I will always treasure her most loving gesture: she would take my hand, lift and press it lovingly to her cheek.  That gesture said it all.

I love you Teresa.

Teresa.   A women of courage and a women of Faith.  She loved and appreciated her family and her friends. 
We often spent FaceTime together.  
A blessed time.   I remember the delight on her face when we would connect. 
She always sent her hugs as we spent time in prayers.    Teresa,  A women of patience, strength and great endurance in dealing with adversity.  I shall miss her.
She is now at complete Rest.  
My condolences to the family.  

My first memory of Montreal will always be one with you in it. How you welcomed our visit that one cold afternoon in spring last year,  we felt the gentle warmth of a loving mom to Linda. Because Linda is a sister, I share the privilege of calling you mom too, and I will remember you just as she would. Loving Linda is loving you too. Rest now, God has called you home. 

She was such a beautiful soul,  even when she couldn't speak she would show you how much she loved the people in her life. 
When I think of her I remember this photo ... Those new years eve party she hosted... Good food, good company.
My condolences to the family, she will be dearly missed.

Our deepest condolences to the family. Teresa was a wonderful lady with a heart of gold. She was a strong woman who bravely fought through many struggles. We would all be so lucky to have half her persistence. May she Rest In Peace.  
Love, 
Diana and John xx
