To the Rakochevich family.  I offer my sincerest condolences on your loss.  Branka was a lovely woman who always put others first.

I wish you peace and know that time will heal.

Sincerely,
Linda Rakochevich

In Memory of a wonderful brave and kind woman.  
She lived a full and fulfilling life and will be sorely missed by all of her family and friends.  We knew her through Alex, Jane and Alexa and enjoyed many meals with her - with their family and on her own.  
She was a wonderful guest - with many meaningful, interesting and heartfelt stories of her life and travels.
We will miss her dearly and our sincere condolences go to all of her family.
Katrine & Malcolm Siverns

Branka was the President of the Serbian Sisters' Circle (Kolo Srpskih Sestara ) at Serbian Church St. Michael the Archangel
on Delaware Ave in Toronto from 1971-1973.  She continued to do great work for many years after that.  



Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of a wonderful woman.

 Branka (and the late Beco) were my friends for many years.  My heart goes out to Cica and Alex and their families, as well as to the neices and nephews, cousins, siblings and all who loved her.

Branka had great passion for the Serbian community at both St Sava on River St and St Michael the Archangel on Delaware Ave in Toronto.  She was president of the Serbian Kolo (Sister's Circle) from 1971to 1973 and was the driving force and huge influence in participating in many wonderful festivals.  

She was the founder of the Belgrade Pavillion for the Caravan Festival in Toronto in the mid 1970's- together with the late Colette Sekulovich. 

She also was involved in joining  the Easter Around the World and the Christmas Around the World displays at City Hall for the Serbian community.

Branka also influenced the celebrating of the Pokladna Zabava (costume ball) in February, which she organized for 15 years

Branka loved the folklore and the church and was a very big contributor to preserving the heritage of the Serbian parish at Delaware.  She will also be remembered for her big smile and bright spirit.

Pero, Pajo and I extend our condolence to Cica and Alex , and to their families on dear Branka's passing.  We also include her brother Brano and her many nieces and nephews in our thoughts.
Branka and Beco and our Cerovic family go back a long time. To the time when I babysat Cica when she was eight years old. The trips to Lake Simcoe, when Alex was just a baby. The many visits back and forth between our houses when  your family lived in East York where Branka was a great hostess which she remained so  throughout her life. Rest in Peace dear, dear Branka. We will miss you greatly.
