Dear Erika and family,

Dear Charlie, Erika, Charlie and Stephanie,
Magdi was a truly warm and caring woman , who never let her own troubles get in the way of her outgoing and cheerful greetings and smiles to those she loved. We never knew Magdi to show bitterness or speak unkind words of anyone. She was genuine, and unjudgemental. Magdi’s strong character and lifes lessons will always be an inspiration and through her children never forgotten. Magdi will be very dearly missed, but always remembered in our hearts. Goodbye to our Sweet Angel.
Mrs. Kovacs was a very special lady. She always greeted me with a warm, friendly smile, called me by name, and was never too busy to answer any questions I might have had.
She will be missed.
Dear Family;

May she rest in peace!

My husband and I have been customers at Zellers pharmacy since they were in University Heights Shopping Mall. Maria always looked after us. We wish to offer our condolences to the family and friends. Maria was a great inspiration to the community that she so kindly and caringly served. She approached everyone with that wonderful smile of hers, and remembered everyone by their names.
I am sure her memory will be cherished always for her unwavering support of others.
Maria was a beautiful and compassionate person. God Bless her and her family. Take care. Know that others do care.
I met Magdi several years ago when she was working at K-mart Pharmacy, and later Zellers Pharmacy–
We have lost “our beautifu lady”—we were so sorry to hear that Magdi is no longer with us, her warmth and compasion will be missed by all. Condolences to her family–at home and in the pharmacy.
Magdi was a generous, compassionate and caring spirit, which came across with her smile. She remembered the names of many of the people who came to the pharmacy at Zellers (also at K-Mart) and had the patience to listen to them. She will be missed greatly by all who knew her. Our sincere symphathy and prayers are sent to the family, who will miss her even more. Edmond and Julia Vlaszaty
