We send out love to the family of Stojanka and prayers for them to be comforted. Ostoja and Stojanka were such an important part of our circle of friends in Northwest Indiana. They kept the Serbian traditions alive for their children and grandchildren, and always provided a warm welcome and plenty of hospitality to anyone who visited and celebrated holidays with them. Stojanka was among the best cooks of all the Serbian women we knew. She will be missed.
