She was full of wisdom, love, and kindness for all people. Luba’s children and grandchildren will never forget her love for them as well as her cooking and hospitality for every holiday.

Two days before Luba got sick, the family was talking about the virus coming to America, and Luba said, “Even if the virus comes, I’m ready to go home to Heaven anytime.”
