Canora Courier December 08, 2004 Page B1 – In memoriam GOGOL: Wilma, passed away Dec. 12, 2001. Her smiling way and laughter, Are a pleasure to recall. When her life was the brightest, When her years were the best; She was called from this world, To a home of eternal rest. We think about you always, We talk about you still; You have not been forgotten, And you never will. - Sadly missed and always remembered, husband Paul and family. Canora Courier December 08, 2004 Page B1 – In Memoriam PLOSZ: In loving memory of Jim, husband, father, grandfather, who passed away Dec. 6, 2003. You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye; You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why. A million times we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried; If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still; In our hearts you hold a place, No one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone; For part of use went with you, The day God took you Home. - Forever loved, forever missed, loving wife Irma, David, Cathy, Jane, Anna Marie and Lisa, and families.
