In Memoriam - Monika Wachowski
It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our dear friend Monika (Moordryd) Wachowski, a cherished long-time member of our BACI family. After two years of declining health, she passed away in the early morning of July 17.
Monika attended the Day Program at BACI for 14 years, beginning in 2010. She was an independent spirit who loved cooking, bowling, the swings, going to the library, and watching her favourite videos on the computer. She also loved movies and music, a good laugh, and dancing! Monika appreciated purple, Harry Potter, ABBA, Disney, and giving affection to the people she cared about.
Monika‘s Celebration of Life will be held on August 11 at 11:00 am, at 7415 Sussex Ave in Burnaby (the L’Arche building). At the end of the service, two of Monika‘s favourite things will be served: pizza and ice cream sundaes. All who were touched by Monika's life are invited to attend.
In lieu of flowers, Monika's family has asked people to consider donating to BACI or the L’Arche Foundation.
