Dear Nadine, Mark and Families, What a beautiful obituary you wrote for Leisha. I send you all my love and concern. I met Leisha in our first year of university in 1961 and a solid friendship formed. In 1968 we enjoyed the capitals of Europe, travelling on Eurail passes. I was often a guest at your home where I enjoyed your friendship and your mother's wonderful cooking, especially what she placed before us for Ukrainian Christmas. My thoughts are with you, Lynn Fluelling Teahan

I first met Leisha when I was a Manager with the Windsor Public Library and Leisha was serving on the Library Board. Not only did Leisha lend her leadership skills to the Library Board, particularly when she served as Chair, but she also supported me in my endeavors and most noteworthy in my assignment as Project Manager in the construction and opening of the new Riverside Branch Library. Post retirement whenever I encountered Leisha she greeted me warmly, often with a hug and a big smile. I also applaude Leisha in her public support of the Ukraine and its people. My deepest sympathy to Leisha's family. David Eady Windsor Public Library (retired)

Mark: I was saddened to hear of your sister's passing...as you may remember, "Miss Nazarewich" was my Grade 9 and 10 English teacher at Massey. I see now how young she was and even tho it was probably her first year, she was confident and engaging and funny and kind! I see she went on to do great things. Please accept my and David's condolences, and our hugs!

I extend my deepest condolences to Leisha's family. I remember spending much time with her and her mom at their house on Rosedale when I was a little girl, as well as, numerous events at the UNO hall. She will be greatly missed.

I am sad to learn about p. Leisha's passing. I met her in 2002 and I visited her house near the Ambassador Bridge many times over the following couple of years. I remember her fondness for cats and for the Stratford Festival. Most recently, I filmed p. Leisha for the Ukrainian Women's Organization tea talk video that can be viewed at https://unfcanada.ca/affiliates/ukrainian-womens-organization-of-canada/ RIP p. Leisha.

My deepest sympathy to Leisha's extended family. I have been privileged to call Leisha a friend for many years, firstly as teaching colleagues with abuting classrooms, then as a book club companion who inspired and taught us with her enlightening reading selections, none more powerful than Babi Yar. In her last weeks, we shared many stimulating conversations; her body was failing her, but never that brilliant mind! Leisha will be profoundly missed, not just by me, but by the whole community she unselfishly served. Sincerely, Donna Wishart

Leisha was my Grade 11 and 12 English teacher at Massey. She taught me to write and edit like a pro, a skill I have passed along to both of my children. I had the opportunity to visit with her at Hospice. We continued a conversation we had started in 1982, 43 years ago, like it was yesterday. To be remembered so many years later was an honour. May her memory be a blessing, and especially among those who seek and share education and knowledge.

I knew Ms. N as a student in her English class at Massey SS. Once I grew up, I became a teacher and a colleague albeit in another city. When we saw each other over the years, I always greeted her as Ms. N, even though she told me to call her by her first name. We appreciated our Ukrainian heritage through all the years and would talk about it even when at Massey. I forgot to mention, she was my teacher supervisor as editor for Pegasus, our Massey yearbook. I always respected her direction and support. I will always remember her with fondness and great respect. Вічна їй пам’ять! May her memory be eternal! Michael Drul, Her former student at Massey and friend

Leisha was a true renaissance woman, creative in so many ways, an active community booster, a trailblazer for women in her union, so proud of her Ukrainian heritage, and a good friend for many years. Condolences to Mark and the entire family. Percy Hatfield 9N4YD
