Elzbieta Kocot-Nowak: 28-04-56 — 24-10-11

My mother passed away peacefully yesterday evening, just before 17:40 on Monday October 24th, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital with my father, my sister, and myself at her side. She was 55.

Elzbieta was a proud and caring mother to the end, never wavering in her love and devotion for her children. Even in the worst of times her first thought was for our well being. It is a love I won’t ever forget and a memory that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

The last two months in the intensive care unit were difficult but hard fought. Though the battle was lost we find solace in the thought that she no longer has to struggle. The memory of her happier times will persevere. For everything else in life I will live knowing that the last time I saw her lucid, communicative, and with the fire that always burned brightly in her eyes, I told her, and she knew, how much I loved her. A most beautiful orange sunset was seen when she passed.

Mamusia kochana, you will be missed but never forgotten.

Public visitation will be at Glen Oaks in Oakville on Thursday October 27th at 10am. The funeral will be at 11am.

Your mom raised an amazing son.
Though I have never met your mother, Mike, I know she must be a special and loving woman.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Be strong, remember the good times, remember all that she has passed on to you.
She will live on through her loving family’s hearts.

Mike, we are sending lots of love your way, such great words you wrote, very touching. The pictures are amazing and she raised a good son, I can tell she was a wonderful woman. I am sorry for your loss and I only have one thing to say
“I hear the gentle beating of mighty wings…”

MORPHEUS:… It is as natural to die as it is to be born….
Many thousands of years ago I heard a song in a dream, a mortal song that celebrated her gift. I still remember it… That forgotten poet understood her gifts. My sister has a function to perform, even as I do. The Endless have their responsibilities. I have responsibilities.

I walk by her side and the darkness lifts from my soul. I walk with her, and I hear the gentle beating of mighty wings…
