Lara PAJUNEN Obituary

PAJUNEN, Lara Noel December 1967 - February 7, 2019 11 years ago, Lara came face-to-face with breast and ovarian cancers. The head-on collision sent her on an immersive journey into meditative learning and practices. Fueled by incredible determination and following Vipassana teachings, Lara beat what everyone said were unbeatable odds to enjoy more than a decade of life filled with beauty and joy... until cancer returned. Having given it her all, Lara chose to quit her battle February 7, 2019 at Campbell House Hospice in Collingwood, ON. From nuns in India to monks in Cambodia to surfers in Australia, skiers in Collingwood and friends in Toronto and Morrison Lake, hundreds of people whose lives she touched will miss this very special young woman... her serene radiance and beautiful, kind soul. If love could have saved her she would have lived forever. Lara was gifted with a wonderful voice. School alumni from Maurice Cody Junior, Hodgson Middle School and North Toronto Collegiate will recall its purity. Parents Ken and Joan, brother Wayne and his family Leanne, Alysha and Lee still hear her singing ... just from a different place.
