Funeral arrangements by
Regina Funeral Home
ISTRATI – Nora (nee Eleanora Topal) quietly slipped away on Monday, January 24, 2005 in her 91st year. She was residing at the Cupar & District Nursing Home at the time of her death. She was the loving mother of Mona (Jim) Mulhern. Devoted grandmother of Sean (Amy) Mulhern; Brennan Mulhern; Erin Mulhern and her partner, Yan Gilbert. Nora is survived by her brother; Charlie (Irmgard) Topal; sister Helen George; nieces, nephews and many wonderful and cherished friends. Nora was predeceased by her parents, Enoch Topal and Sabina Dumba; husband, William in 1947; brothers: Steve, Vasil, George, Mike; sisters: Anne and Mary. Mom’s heart sang when she was in her garden. As soon as the soil was workable she was out ‘there’ planting and long after her garden was going to sleep in the autumn she was still tending. She loved to share the bounty of her harvest with her many friends and neighbours – planting, visiting in the garden and sharing gave her great pleasure and energy. She was the most generous person – always willing to help someone – always willing to work tirelessly for others – always very aware about being hones, loyal and doing ‘good’. Her consistent motto was, “What goes around, comes around.” And she absolutely adored her three grandchildren. Being a grandmother was the center of her Universe, thoughts and generosity – she delighted in spoiling them. She was a strong, generous, loving and loyal woman. Although she will be greatly missed by all of us, Heaven’s Gardens will now be tended by another Master Gardener having just arrived. Blessings, dear lady – my dear Mom. A CELEBRATION OF NORA’S LIFE will be held at the Regina Funeral Home, Hwy#1 East, Regina, SK on Friday, February 4, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Cupar & District Nursing Home, Box 310, Cupar, SK S0G 0Y0 or a charity of your choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Regina Funeral Home (306-789-8850). “When we come to the last moment of this lifetime, and we look back across it, the only thing that’s going to matter is ‘What was the quality of our love’”
