Obituary of Eadgar Isaac Gradek-Szabunio

Eadgar Isaac Gradek-Szabunio entered this world, and then left in it the very same moment, at Mt. Sinai Hospital Toronto, 02:20 AM, Sunday April 13th, 2014. With loving tenderness, his Father cut his cord, bathed, dressed and swaddled him, and held him together with Mother face-to-skin for several hours, before kissing him lovingly goodbye together one last time. Eadgar was given Catholic rites for a child known unto God the evening prior, receiving blessing through the living tears of his parents, Anna Gradek and Paul Szabunio. A funeral mass was held at 11:00 AM on Easter Monday, April 21st, 2014, at Corpus Christi Parish, Toronto (16 Lockwood Rd., Toronto, ON; ((416) 694-0382; www.corpuschristichurch.ca). All are welcome to attend (DEU with medals is welcome for military guests who may wish to so). Funeral arrangements are under the care of Humphrey's Funeral Home, Toronto ((416) 487-4523; 1403 Bayview Avenue, M4G 3A8. Special thanks to caregiver Szilvia Kramm, Labour and Delivery Department.
