GHITA WELTMAN

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• I met Ghita when I worked at Zellers over 20 years ago. She was a beautiful and wise (and will always be to me) woman that filled my heart the more I knew her and she made me laugh always. I loved her as a mother and it was always a blessing for me, when I could visit with her. By God's grace she came to my wedding and that was the ultimate gift. As life moves forward , at times it was difficult to keep in touch with each other. I, unfortunately did not know she passed. My sincere condolences and prayers to the family. She will forever be in my heart and thoughts always. "I love you Iove Ima - thank you for everything you brought to my life" . - Posted by: Sara Levy (Friend) on: May 31, 2019

• Ghita was a wonderful friend and a special mother to all of us. I met Ghita over 20 years ago. She was the first one to introduce herself when I moved in and a year later June moved in. Many a card game and world issues were discussed at the table while having our cup of tea and playing a card game. A few years later our table grew to include Wendy and Cathy. We loved her and always had a soft place for her in our hearts. Being a Holocaust survivor was a miracle alone but to live such a long life was wonderful. Thank you for sharing her with us all. We will always miss you Ghita and your wisdom you shared with us. Love always Annette. June, Wendy and Cathy. - Posted by: Annette Derksen (Friend) on: Feb 18, 2019

• I knew Ghita through my grandmother ever since I was a child. She always made me laugh and had such a kind and loving soul. I have always felt that from her so strongly since the day I met her. Everything she has gone through only made her stronger and more compassionate. I have always admired her strength and it is something I hope I can cultivate in myself just from knowing her. She made an impact on many peoples lives and so many people loved her. I will never stop loving you and thinking about you, Ghita. And I will always remember you baking! Love you and miss you always, Cassandra - Posted by: Cassandra Murakami (Friend) on: Jan 22, 2019

Anne loved her dearly and will always remember and love her. I will always remember Ghita as a feisty but caring person who I had the honour of experiencing her friendship, humour and love. Ghita, be at rest as you are now with God, Sharon and Zwi. - Posted by: Robert Murakami (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2019

• Ghita had an abundance of love in her heart, she had many friends, each of them feeling like family, and this was the magic of Ghita, her kind loving heart. She had tragedies in her life, she survived the horrors of the holocaust, and had to live with the loss of her loving family members who did not. But, the most heartbreaking time for her was the loss of her precious daughter, Sharon. Through all this and more in her life, she was such a beautiful loving spirit, this will forever be her legacy. My dearest Ghita, you meant so very much to me. You were my family, you are my family. My family and I will never, ever forget you, it's impossible. You and Sharon, have been in my heart for 27 years, you will be forever in my heart until my last breath. I love you to pieces, I will always think of you. And in doing so, I will remember our conversations, our get-togethers, our laughter, the serious talks followed by advice that came from your love and care and your precious wisdom. Our Tim's coffee and bagel, and so many other wonderful memories. Thank you for these wonderful memories that I have of you, these are cherished, but I've been cherishing them way before you left us. I treasure you, my memories of you will be with me every moment of every day. You make my heart warm, thinking of you has always done that, and now, you will keep it warm forever. I am smiling as I write this because I'm thinking of your different smerks and expressions, and faces that you make, I will miss them, but thinking of you will keep them alive. I will always appreciate you, your honesty and frankness, your love and tenderness and sharp advice that has helped me grow. You are so very precious. I am so glad I knew from so long ago, how very special and important you would be in my life. Your beautiful daughter Sharon connected us, it comforts me so much knowing she is now in your loving arms. Sending you all my love. Rest in eternal peace my dear Ghita, you so longed for it, love you so very much. XXOO - Posted by: Anne Murakami (Friend) on: Jan 15, 2019

• Our condolences to Ghita's family. She was a very special woman, with a big heart. When we became friends, she embraced my entire family as well...there was always more love. This is especially memorable because she herself had endured much hardship and loss, including surviving the Holocaust. In spite of all that, when asked how she was doing, she typically replied, "Hanging in there." Indeed she did, persevering over time, with her keen wit, her wicked sense of humour, and her heart of love. We will miss her greatly. - Posted by: Arlene Wiebe (Friend) on: Jan 15, 2019

• Ghita was someone very special. She lived through many hard times yet managed to stay happy. Her sense of humour and quick wit were endearing. She had a special relationship with my granddaughter Kanesha and it was through that relationship I was fortunate to have met her. Our last visit in December will always be remembered with fondness. You were a gentle soul, rest in peace. - Posted by: Bev Trachuk (friend) on: Jan 12, 2019
