Savica
Savica was the name of Boris’ grandmother, pronounced Sa-vit-sa. Savica was a very strong woman, a woman of noble character. Boris recalls a time when a neighbor was harassing her. She was calm, cool and collected and did not seek revenge. She turned to Boris and said “Aren’t you glad you’re not like her.” That quote has remained with Boris all these years. It reminds him to never let others get the best of him. Savica endured many hardships in life but they did not harden her. She was a loving and kind woman. But she was also firm in her character and integrity, a woman of courage.
