BIANCHET,
Ivana
Maria
It is with immense sadness and endless tears that we announce
the passing of Ivana Maria
BIANCHET at Toronto General Hospital,
at 1: 00 p.m., Sunday, August 21, 2005, of acute liver failure.
Beloved daughter of Egidio and Elsa
BIANCHET, devoted and loving
big sister of Stephen
BIANCHET, dear niece of Eugenio and Dina
BIANCHET in North Bay and Marianna
ZUCCHET,
Elsa
BIANCHET, and
Ceserina MOLENT in Italy, cherished cousin of Jerry
BIANCHET
and Daniela
BIANCHET in North Bay, of Luisa
BRUNET,
Alice
ZUCCHET,
Carlo ZUCCHET,
Roberto
ZUCCHET, Linda
MARZOTTO, and Denise DE
BARTOLI in Italy, of Relina
SARTOR in Toronto, of Gina
SARTOR
in Brampton, and
of Carmela
SARTOR,
Luisa
VITALE, Jimmy
VITALE,
and Christine
ZENI in Bolton. Ivana was also a close and dear
friend of Connie
LABRIOLA,
Grace
DUKE, and Nancy and Mary
BRIENZA,
as well as their families, and she will also be sadly missed
by other relatives and countless Friends, including her co-workers
at Canada Post. Ivana was born on July 12, 1958 in Cordenons,
Pordenone, Italy, in her paternal grandmother "Nona Nuta's" house,
and was delivered by midwives. She emigrated to Canada in 1960
at the age of two with her parents Egidio and Elsa, who settled
in Toronto after three years in North Bay, where they had joined
their brother and sister Eugenio and Dina, respectively, who
had married and been together in Canada since 1956. Ivana's parents
added a son, Stephen, to the family in 1964. Ivana was a happy
though quiet child who enjoyed school, which was negatively affected
when she was very young by her lack of English and later in her
teens by lengthy stays in hospital. Despite these setbacks, she
always enjoyed learning new things and, throughout her life,
took great care and consideration in everything she did. Ivana
had the profound misfortune of being stricken with a number of
serious illnesses throughout most of her life. After being diagnosed
with kidney disease, she had her first kidney transplant in March
1971, at the age of 12, at The Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto; when that kidney failed some 22 years later, she received,
at Toronto General Hospital, a second transplant in September
1993, which was donated, gladly and without hesitation, by her
brother Stephen. Probably sometime in the 1970's or 1980's, she
received tainted blood in Toronto through a transfusion and was
infected with the Hepatitis C virus, the devastating effects
of which started to manifest themselves fully in the last few
years of her life. Sometime in the 1990's, some basal cell carcinomas
(a type of skin cancer) were discovered on her body. She became
diabetic and she also later was diagnosed with a form of non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (detected in early 2003). Possibly about the same time,
she was also infected with the E-B virus. To compound her miseries,
her cancers and viral infections were exacerbated and possibly
facilitated by her decades of immunosuppression. Her last several
years were spent courageously battling all of these illnesses,
requiring innumerable trips to the hospital and many tests and
procedures. This included four rounds of chemotherapy treatments,
commencing in October 2004, to treat her lymphoma. Despite her
many afflictions, Ivana was not a walking collection of illnesses.
Ivana was a vibrant, cheerful, caring person, with a unique,
musical laugh. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, niece, cousin,
and friend. Ivana never complained and was forever brave and
optimistic that she would prevail over the assault on her body.
Her family and Friends certainly gave her the unconditional love
and support to do so. She was a very good listener and patient
with everyone. She placed the cares of her loved ones above her
own and unselfishly was always concerned about their happiness.
Everyone who knew Ivana loved her. She had a variety of interests
and pursuits and two of her favourite destinations were Niagara
Falls as well as North Bay, where she enjoyed visiting her relatives.
Shopping was one of her joys, especially later in her battle,
probably because deciding on a purchase was one of the few things
in life over which she had any control. Despite all the tribulations
with regard to her health, Ivana always found the goodness within
herself and others, and loved to share life, laughter, and good
times. She will be sadly missed by all whose lives she touched.
The family will receive relatives and Friends at Ward Funeral
Home at 4671 Hwy. 7, Woodbridge, Ontario, on Wednesday, August
24, between 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m., and on Thursday, August 25,
between 7-9 p.m. Funeral to be held at 10: 00 a.m. on Friday,
August 26 at St. Roch's Catholic Church at 2889 Islington Ave.,
North York, Ontario. Entombment at Beechwood Cemetery at 7241
Jane Street, Concord, Ontario. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses,
and other support staff at the University Health Network and
The Hospital for Sick Children who cared for Ivana over her 35-year
heroic battle with the serious illnesses noted above. In lieu
of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Liver
Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Kidney Foundation
of Canada, or the Canadian Diabetes Association.

Toddler drowns in ditch
The boy, 3, fell into the rain-filled channel after wandering
onto a farm construction site.
By Kelly PEDRO,
Free
Press
Reporter
Innerkip -- A three-year-old boy drowned Thursday night after
he fell into a water-filled ditch on a farm near here.
Isaac FRIESSEN-
GIESBRECHT was flown to the Children's Hospital
of Western Ontario in London, where he died.
Oxford Community police, paramedics and Bright volunteer firefighters
were called to the
VAN
BOEKEL pig farm on Township Road 9 in
Blandford-Blenheim about 7: 17 p.m. Thursday.
They found the little boy unconscious in a ditch filled with
rainwater from a downpour earlier that day.
FRIESSEN-
GIESBRECHT had wandered onto a construction site on
the farm, police said.
One neighbour, Samantha, who wouldn't give her last name, said
she heard sirens and saw fire trucks on the rural road Thursday
after a heavy rain.
"It was kind of scary because I didn't know where they were going,"
she said.
"I thought somebody had been hurt on the farm. I never thought
it would be a little boy that drowned. That's terrible."
The family had lots of children, but kept to themselves, neighbours
said.
No one answered the door at the modest house yesterday.
A tire swing, tricycle and other children's toys were scattered
in the front lawn.
Construction equipment was on land behind the house.
"It's shocking, especially being a little one," said neighbour
Janice BRIETENSTEIN.
"You just want to weep for the people. I can't imagine what they're
going through."
The family has rented the house from Eric
VAN
BOEKEL for about
two years, neighbours said.
VAN
BOEKEL declined comment when reached yesterday.
Police are still probing the boy's death and Ontario's Labour
Ministry also is investigating because the area involved a construction
site.
