Irene,



Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say on the Lord.” While no words of mine can ease your loss, I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts constantly. My prayers are with you and your family.

Maria was one of the strongest, most loving women in the world. A woman that took down the barriers to reach the life she had set off to live. For someone who had lead such a simplistic life, she shined her light into so many lives. She was the sunshine in everyone that she encountereds day. She was a woman of strength and strong will. No matter what was going on in life or how ill she herself felt, she always found the strength to call and check on her family ( even if it was just a common cold). All the people that had the joy of knowing Baba ( she is my grandma ) understand when I say that nobody could ever replace her nor even come close to being half the woman that she became. She is a model of love, caring and family. I love you Baba and will miss you deeply. You are my guiding light.

my condolances go out to maria chrystan and her family and freinds . even though i never had the pleasure of meeting maria ( aka baba ) i heard many stories about her how she was quick witted to point out a mistake u made but in a humores way that wouldn't make u feel so bad . i know her family and friends are going to miss her but im sure it will put them at ease knowing she is upstairs with her husband watching over all of them .

Maria Chrystan aka “Baba”.

t;I will always remember “Baba”, as just that “Baba”. Even though I married into the family, Baba made me feel like just one of her Grandkid's.

I will always remember the times we spent together, her humor, going out to eat at Denny’s and her very stubborn point of views. If Baba did not like something – You’d be sure to know it! And boy did I learn that fast about her! :-) I remember the Christmas of where Baba and my Busia would sit at the dining room table complaining that Mark & I have yet to supply them with Great Grandkids to spoil. I hope they don’t come and haunt us! My Busia always told me that if I’d ever forget about her she’d come in the middle of the night and grab me by feet and pull me off the bed and I can now imagine Baba helping her!

I’m attaching a very good picture of Baba, which sums up the personality I will miss. I will miss her!

To Baba,
“I am deeply sadden you have left us, my heart is heavy, but I know you are watching over us all in Heaven. You are in peace. Please put in a kind word up there for your family. Eventually tears running down my face will subside and even though I don’t think I’ll ever be happy that you left us, I will eventually be able to remember the good times with a smile and cherish them in my heart. I love you, Baba.”
