My deepest condolences to the loved ones of Henryk and Teresa from the Ellenbeck family. I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Teresa and I were roommates during my first two years in Winnipeg. I will always remember her remarkable spirit, intelligence, and tenacious dedication to her studies. She taught me many valuable life lessons through her hard work and unwavering commitment. I will always remember her with respect. May she rest in peace as she is embraced by God's loving arms.

Dear Brian and Henryk,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Teresa's passing.

I got to know her back in 1997 when I was 5 years old, and she, Brian, and her brother Henryk spent the Summer in the Netherlands. I'll always remember her kindness and warmth, and she will always be in my heart. My favorite memory of her is the time I spent with her when I visited her and Brian in Canada in 2011.

Brian and Henryk, my thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times.

Lots of love,

Lydia

Dear Brian and Henryk,

Today I opened my email and read the intensely sad message that Thersa has passed away. There are no words for this......way to young.

We have many wonderful memories together. It all started in 1995 in the USA. That's where your love for each other started. As a joke, I said I would like to be your bridesmaid. A year later the time had come. I met you in South Africa and was your maid of honor. What a race we had against time to ensure that Thersa's mother's wedding dress was altered, so that the dress fit her perfectly.

In the following years, despite the distance, we saw each other regularly and were able to experience adventures together.

You moved to Canada and I started the adoption adventure. A very nice memory is that I was able to introduce my son Nathan to you and we spent a pleasant time together in Canada. Afterwards I had my daughter Letitia. Unfortunately she never got to meet Teresa.

My family and friends have been privileged to have met your wonderful wife and sister and I have been privileged to be her friend.

Rest in peace dear Theresa, you will always be in our hearts

Brian and Henryk, our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times.

Lots of love

Liesbeth, Nathan, Letitia, Rinus and Lenie

Brian and Henryk (Karen), I offer my peaceful energy to you that you might find solace at this difficult time of the transition of Teresa from this physical realm to the one of pure energy. Life here is changed. We will be open to her influence and signs of presence. Blessings and peace.

I am writing in tears to share how much I adored Teresa. I got to know her back in 2015 through Henryk, her beloved brother. All I knew was she had the most amazing uplifting , supportive loving soul you would ever cherish . We have had long late night chats over the phone, talking about everything and laughing about everything. I always felt her as the dearest Sister I never had . I looked up for her advices and she was willing and able to give the best advice possible. Its so unfortunate that I couldn’t see her , If I ever knew she would say good bye this soon… my heart is shattered into pieces to see her obituary. She shall always be a loving memory in my heart and I would cherish her dearly like I used to do when she was still alive. Her presence shall remain forever.

Dear Brian and Henryk, This I am sure is a very difficult time for you both. Please know our prayers are with you.

She is free from her worries and resting in heavenly peace rejoicing with the Almighty God and angels surrounded.

We shall all be united with her in the heavens one day.

May God bless you all .

Lots of Love
