Condolences

Condolence From: Dimitri James Haidos
Condolence: My condolences to the family as I chant, “Eternal Memory.”
Job 38:4-16 (LXX), was the last conversation I remember having with Oxana many years ago about the talk between Job and the pre-incarnate Christ: “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me now, if thou hast knowledge, who set the measures of it, if thou knowest? Or who stretched a line upon it?....Or did I order the morning light in thy time?...Or didst thou take clay of the earth, and form a living creature, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth?...And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the gate-keepers of Hades quake when they saw thee?” circa mid-third century, B.C., where the speaker is Christ, pre-incarnate.
Oxana told me, the power of speech in language gave human beings the skill to exchange complex thoughts and to share self. Human beings as we know them started to assign symbolic values to objects such as geometrical designs in cave art. They existed for 100,000 years before symbolized art objects appeared. Their language-learning abilities were gradually switched on –energized by the Holy Spirit, and then their art works appeared in brain function yielding language-borne symbols as a way to represent the world around them. Before you say a word, your brain first has to have a symbolic, artistic representation of what it means. These mental symbols were expressed variously as art, early on, and later as sacred icons, even those ordered by God to be on the temple curtains, eventually leading to my favorite icon as below:

Oxana said, “He (Jesus) remembered those righteous persons in Hades – he emptied Hades and many of those he remembered, who had died in the past, according to the Bible, walked the streets of Jerusalem to visit their relatives prior to ascending with Jesus, who brought pre-fall humanity in him into the presence of the Father and the Holy Spirit.” So Eternal Memory dear sister. Your inner and outward beauty and good heartedness and positive impact on others will be missed. Here in Costa Rica my congregation and I sing out, Вічная Пам'ять

Condolence: For members of Oksana’s family,
I am so sorry for your loss and stunned by the news of her passing. I have known Oksana for several years through the water aerobics class she taught at Lifetime. We will all miss her so terribly! Her wonderful, bright, encouraging attitude helped me in so many ways during some difficult times. She was a tiny, beautiful lady filled with tremendous energy and the Spirit of God. She always put the needs of others first with grace and compassion . After reading about her dancing, singing, and musical performances, it is easy to imagine her as a shining golden voice in God’s Heavenly Chorus. May the peace and comfort of God and of your wonderful memories comfort you.

Condolence: I only knew Oksana through the deep water classes she led at Lifetime Fitness in Plymouth. Oksana was a bright spot in my day! With her enthusiasm, energy and constant smile, she led her classes. A friend to all. So welcoming to newcomers. I will always picture her rushing in with her ponytail bouncing, extremely large backpack overwhelming her little frame, a bright smile across her face. She will be missed more than any of us can imagine. Condolences to her family.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Oksana for the past few years through Lifetime Fitness. She was the instructor for the Aqua and Foundations classes I attended. I so loved her classes and miss her dearly. She had many fitness students who she coached and encouraged on their journey to better health. Her life made a difference in my life.

Condolence From: Steve Floyd
Condolence: To Mrs. Lewytzkyj's family and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope our loving and kind creator, Jehovah God, gives you peace. The Bible sometimes helps in dealing with grief. John 3:16 assures us that God loves us and wants to give us everlasting life. John 11:23=25 Jesus said he would resurrect the dead and promised everlasting life. Revelation 21:1-4 tells about a whole new world in which many will live where God does away with death, sorrow, pain and suffering. This could happen sooner than most people might think. I hope this helps some. If you wish you can call me at home on 762-359-7689. Steve

Condolence From: Anatol Prehar
Condolence: I'm sure that every Ukrainian little boy in N.E. Minneapolis had a secret crush on the Angelically beautiful Oksana while growing up. Her warm heart and genuine concern for all that crossed her path was her unique calling card. There's a special place in heaven for people like her. My sympathy to all in the family for your great loss.

Condolence: Oksana was so helpful to me when I was a Cub Scout leader holding meetings at WCC. She was always positive, resourceful and helped out with a smile. She had a real can-do attitude.
Stunned by her sudden loss. She was a ray of sunshine. My condolences to her family.
