Condolences & Memories (29 entries)

• I did not know Julia at all, I am a student at the Gray Academy. I wanted to just give my condolences to the family for their loss. - Posted by: Josh (non) on: Jan 04, 2013

• I never knew you, but I always thought you were extremely gorgeous and had an adorable laugh. Whenever I saw you you always looked so happy, smiling and laughing. You seemed like such a nice, sweet, happy person. I never knew you, and now I never will. I recently went to the tree where you passed. I wish I would've brought flowers or something to help pay my respects. All I could think of to say while I was there was "I'm so sorry this happened to you". I was so close to breaking out into tears, so I left. I want to go back, and bring flowers this time. I still find it unreal that you're gone. It's still such a shock to me. I have faith that you're in a better place now and that God is taking good care of you. You're an angel, looking over every one of us at Kelvin. We'll never forget you. Rest easy. - Posted by: Kelvin (Classmate at Kelvin) on: Nov 19, 2012

• To the Romanow, Bear & Buffalo families, it is with a heavy heart that I give you our deepest sympathies. It takes a village to raise a child and Julia who we loving called 'lil girl' was a staple in our home and hearts for many years. We too shall feel the loss of her pretty smile and warm energy. So many sleep overs w/ Savannah, movies, outings, trips, lunches, dinners and special memories like grade 6 grad from Grosvenor, grade 8 grad from River Heights, birthdays and parties. Julia's beautiful face is in so many of my families photos & memories of the past 5 years. We will miss her greatly and she was loved by all of us. I will miss the giggles of the girls echoing through the house while they watched movies & YouTube or made up some funny and creative video. They say people pass through your life for a reason, her tragic passing will remind us to love and forgive each other, be understanding, laugh and enjoy life, not to speed and always wear a seat belt. With love the Boyko family. XO - Posted by: The Boyko Family (Family of one of her BFF's ) on: Nov 06, 2012

• I am saddened and in disbelief by this tragedy. I still remember Julia as an energetic child who enjoyed going to the park. She would thoughtfully offer her bike to me so that I wouldn't feel left out when her and her brothers went biking. I fondly remember her trying on some of my shirts and giggling because they fit her. I will cherish those memories. I extend my deepest sympathies to your family, especially to Aidan and Michael, and pray for healing and comfort during this difficult time. - Posted by: Ophelia (Former babysitter, family friend) on: Nov 05, 2012

• 'Sweetie Bear', you were too beautiful for Earth, tapwe. We will never forget the cute and adorable Sewinikan, who had touched our hearts 17 years ago. You became such a lovely young woman. It is a comfort to know you are embraced by your mother Lefa's arms. We will miss you and lovingly think of you. Hugs to all your relations and friends. - Posted by: Shawna, Makas'a, Aedon, Caress (Cousin) on: Nov 05, 2012

• Dr. Romanow, I wish there were words that I could offer to comfort you during this tragedy. The only thing I know for certain is that Julia knows how much unconditional love and support you provided her with during her time here on earth. The bond and memories you shared with her will never be replaced. All my love to you, Michael, Aidan and Ernest. - Posted by: Tanya Rashmi Muthusamipillai (MA Student of Dr. Jacqueline Romanow) on: Nov 05, 2012

• It is with a balance of sadness and happiness to hear of the passing of Sewinikan. Sadness because she was so young and it is tragic to lose a daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, friend and everything that she was to the people she met. Happiness because I know she is with the Creator and her beautiful Mother, who loved her as only a Mother can love her child. I was very grateful to have met the Buffalo Family they carry a beautiful Spirit. My Prayers and Thoughts are with you at this time. - Posted by: Cheryl Bear (Cousin and Friend to Stan & Family) on: Nov 05, 2012

• Sincere condolences to Stan and family. So sorry for your loss. Take care xoxo - Posted by: Angela McCorrister (friend) on: Nov 05, 2012

• Our path crossed and is etched in memory of the time when Sewinikan was cradled in her mother's arms. I made a special trip one day bearing an offering of a tikinagan and a traditional sleeping bag when she was just a little baby. She laid back so comfortable then. Now she is with her mother once again. May the Good Creator look upon you and the family. Peace to all. - Posted by: D. Murdock (friend) on: Nov 05, 2012

• So very sorry to hear of your heartbreaking loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family. - Posted by: Sheila Wolynski (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2012

• May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you and your family peace. My sincere sympathy words seem inadequate to express the sadness. May your heart and soul find peace. For some moments in life there are no words. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Your life gave everyone memories too beautiful to forget. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. - Posted by: Katerina Vasilopoulos () on: Nov 04, 2012

• Our thoughts are with Julia's family & friends at this very difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Linda & Jerry Pugh ((Kelvin parents)) on: Nov 04, 2012

• I had the pleasure of meeting Sewinikan as a toddler and lovingly remember her laughter and smiles as her mom, Lefa, played 'peek-a- boo' with her first born. As Lefa sang out Sewinikan’s name, the little twinkle in her eye magically and exponentially magnified into the most beautiful, most honest expression of love. Sewinikan's beautiful name spoke to the very heart and essence of her true spirit. That unconditional love which her mother gave so freely to her child was clearly relished and received as truth creating what Dr. Martin Brokenleg and Abraham Maslov refer to as “ human’s primal need to feel valued, important, and protected by significant others in their lives...”, something that all children deserve. Miss Buffalo-Bear, may you bless us with your presence as you dance with your mommy amongst the evening stars. This memory is forever etched in my heart. “Love the whole world as a mother loves her child.” Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C. - Posted by: Cheryl Morin (cousin) on: Nov 04, 2012

• It was way too early for Sewinikan to leave this Earth. She was just really just starting her life. Finding out who she was, what she wanted to be, where she wanted to go. I met her when she was baby and her moms was so proud of her. The biggest smiles ever. I thought of both of them often and they were never far from my mind. Sewinikan and Leifa are now together again. Life really is a circle. May Sewinikan's family find peace and love. - Posted by: Donna Morin (cousin) on: Nov 04, 2012
