It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to dear teta Manda of whose kindness, sacrifice and love I still witness to everyone today after 30 years since I met her. In the most difficult war years for our homeland Croatia, she and her husband Josip welcomed me into their home and gave me not only shelter, food and education, but also all the care and love that I felt like a member of the family. I am eternally grateful to her for that, as well as the entire Čulumović family. I am sorry that there was no opportunity to meet once again in Croatia, but she will be in my thoughts as long as I live. I believe that she is now in heaven united with her dear Joja and Kate in the kingdom of God, and I hope that we will meet again there. To the grieving family, especially Anna and her family, Taylor and Kathy's family, Josephine and her family, and all the other members, I extend my heartfelt condolences. May she rest in peace!
