Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.
Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.
Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services.

By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.
Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.
Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services.

While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.
Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.
Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

This information may include the Site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (‘Web”). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

Choice
Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.
There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.
Company may also share Personal Information when it has a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect itself and you from people violating the Terms and Conditions of the Site.

Obituary
Anna was a very special and resilient woman. Soft spoken with a huge heart and a true testament to what it is to be a loving wife, nurturing mother, proud grandmother, devoted Catholic, and dedicated friend to many. Anna often asked those who entered her home to call her "Mom". Her home and heart were always open to strangers and friends alike. She loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious meals, and hosting dinners.
She had a great sense of humour, loved to laugh, conversing with, and caring for all. Anna was known for her exceptional gardening skills, love for animals, and had an uncanny ability to find happiness and fulfillment in her daily life. Despite many adversities, she moved through 95 years of life with grace, selflessness, generosity, and compassion.
Anna was predeceased by her husband Henry (1988); daughters Carole (1999) & Susan (2016); and many other family members too numerous to mention. She is survived by her son Michael (Helen Letourneau) and granddaughter Victoria Kastrukoff.
Although she will be truly missed, we know in our hearts Anna and Henry are now reunited together, forever in heaven, with their beautiful daughters.
We would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all the physicians, nurses, personal support workers, and volunteers who were involved in her care and extended their warmth to Anna.
A funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 20, 2023 in the Chapel of Sargent and Son Funeral Home, 21 N. Court Street with Rev. Berchmans Francis officiating. Those wishing to attend the service virtually may do so at the Sargent and Son Facebook page. Interment will take place at St. Andrew’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Thunder Bay and District Humane Society. Online condolences may be expressed at www.sargentandson.com.
Eulogy for Anna
As I sat down to write this Eulogy for Anna, I wondered how to best tell her 95 years long life story … even if a year was condensed to a minute, we would be here for well over an hour and a half…Luckily for all of you, Michael asked for short and sweet! Although there are many stories that could be told, I’ll highlight the ones that exemplify the woman that Anna was and that many of us will remember…some with a smile, some with a tear, some tinged with regret and all coloured with love…
Anna was born on November 21, 1927… she was one of seven children born to Mary and Michael Anderchuk and grew up on their farm on South High Street… as the children grew up and the farm gradually became surrounded by the city, parcels of their land became their homes and the last of the chicken coops and barns came down in the 1970s. Many of you will know that Anna and her sister, Olga, along with their husbands, Henry Lemesani and Walter Harmata, lived around the corner from each other their entire adult lives, always able to see each other’s yard and gardens… always able to keep a watchful eye out for each other and the goings on in the neighbourhood…
Anna and Henry married in 1953, joining their Ukrainian and Slovak heritages. The family grew to include Carole, Susan and Michael. Michael recalls a loud, boisterous household, with Anna instilling values of hard work, care for others, and growing and jarring plentiful, healthy food, much of which came from their own garden… as those of us who picked raspberries and horseradish from their garden in the 1980s and 90s can attest… While Anna’s role as a wife and mother was fairly traditional, those of you who knew Henry know that despite his role as the head of the household, it was Anna who ruled the roost! Anna had high expectations for her children and was fiercely protective of them. She had a strong Catholic faith, loved golf, going for lunch with her sister and treasured girlfriends, hosting dinners at home and in later years, celebrating Christmas dinner with the family at the Valhalla… and one cannot forget her white New Yorker, with Anna L on the licence plate!
Carole had the opportunity to work, travel and marry, while Susan channeled her intellectual strengths into pursuing her education and working, despite physical challenges. Michael, as the only son, excelled in hockey, prior to entering the business world, and more recently, began building and selling homes and properties. Michael’s daughter, Victoria, became one of the greatest loves of Anna’s life when she was born in 1990. For many years Victoria’s holiday visits were a highlight for Anna and Susan, as she grew up between Thunder Bay and Kenora, before moving to Edmonton, where she still resides. While unfortunately Victoria couldn’t travel to be here today, she wrote the beautiful obituary you’ve read as a tribute to her grandmother. Michael’s relationship with Helen, was a source of joy for Anna as she shared her happiness that he had found a loving partner.
I first met Anna and Susan in 1980 when I began working at Teen Family Program, where Susan was the Coordinator of Volunteers. Teen Family received a remarkable gift in hiring Susan as not only did we have an incredible Volunteer Program because of Susan, we also had Anna, Henry, and Michael as staff (unpaid!) as they made it possible for Susan to work. Susan’s interviews with prospective volunteers took place in their home. And in fact, at one point when the program was searching for a new location for the office, we met at the Lemesani’s for team meetings for several months. While Susan was a formidable force, so, too, was Anna as she became the de facto “Mom” of Teen Family… no one can forget her always imploring us to “eat…eat’’’!! Susan’s personal support of the volunteers was second to none and combined with Anna’s charm and mothering led to an unprecedented loyalty from the program’s volunteers…some of whom maintained contact with Anna and Susan for many years after Teen Family was amalgamated into Lakehead Regional Family Centre and Susan retired from her role.
Having known Anna and the Lemesani family for so many years, I’ve known them through many sorrows, beginning with Henry’s sudden death in 1988, at which time Michael, at just 24, became the ‘man’ of the family. Michael met the high expectations of his mother and sisters as he sought to care for and protect them… Michael supported Anna and Susan through the unexpected death of Carole in 1999 and when it became necessary, as a family, they made the decision to access caregivers to make it possible for Anna to care for Susan at home until Susan’s passing in 2016. Michael’s many years of support, carpentry, handyman duties, renovations, gardening and snow removal, allowed Anna to remain at home until her most recent transition to hospice. While Anna may not have expressed her appreciation to Michael in words, she expressed how proud she was of him to others… his entrepreneurial skills, the homes he built or renovated, his travels with Helen and his dedication to parenting Victoria. She loved you, Michael.
Anna’s character was evidenced by the depth of her devotion to her family … and as we all know, to her cats! I used to refer to Susan and Anna as Thunder Bay’s ‘other’ Humane Society…not only did they find homes for many cats and dogs…I can personally thank them for my dog, Sadie… Anna and Susan were not easy to say ‘No” to, whether it was taking an animal yourself or assisting them in finding homes by calling all your friends!
It was the building and nurturing of relationships that speaks to me most about Anna… her interest and joy in hearing about your life, family and pets…spending time sharing a meal, the table set with the best china, which had been warmed in the oven with moistened paper towel between each of the plates, and sharing a bottle of bubbly from gorgeous crystal flutes are just some of the moments I will never forget… I’ll miss the calls when she would ask…”and how are YOU, honey” even when facing her own sorrows or challenges… The last time I spoke with her was on her 95th birthday and she sounded as young, energetic and vibrant as ever… Anna was an exceptional woman. I am grateful to have known and loved her.
