Svetlana Gundorin

Marina and Family,

Svetlana was a beautiful, gentle and kind person. May the peace and comfort of the Lord be with you all. I will keep you in my prayers.

Rest in peace, dear Svetlana. You will long be remembered for your kindness and compassion. I was privileged to call you a friend. Condolences to your family in this time of sorrow.

Svetlana was the most beautiful and most caring soul. The world is a kinder, gentler place because of her and her love for others. She will be missed beyond measure.

My sincere sympathy as you mourn and celebrate this incredible woman, wife, mother, and community leader.

Dear Marina and Gundorin family – I embrace you and pray for you in your deep sorrow. I miss Svetlana so. She was an angel, a guardian, a godmother to so many, myself included. Her legacy of care, commitment and love lives on with all those she touched and inspired over the years. We at Catholic Charities can only try to follow in her footsteps in helping the refugee families she entrusted to our care. Rest in peace, dear Svetlana, and thank you for your presence in our lives. Gregory

Dear Marina and family,
Though this is a time of sadness and grief, it also a time of intense joy! Dear, gentle Svetlana is surely with the resurrected Jesus she loves so much. Suffering finished for her, now eternal joy.
How can we know this? She was someone that you couldn’t miss seeing Him in her eyes, her work, her whole being. Please take comfort in that, and that she will intercede for all of you, until you can be with her again, and with her loving Lord.
“Remember, Lord, those who have died and gone before us marked with the sign of faith, especially Svetlana. May she, and all who sleep in Christ, find in Your presence light, happiness, and peace. Through Christ our Lord.” Amen
With love,
Anne
