Canora Courier November 24, 2004 Page B1 – In memory of: WASYLKIW: In loving memory of our dear mother, grandma and great-grandma, Mary, who passed away Nov. 20, 2003. We saw you fade a little each time we visited you, But, when we saw you sleeping so peaceful and free of pain; We knew you were in God’s hands. In our hearts you will live forever, with all the wonderful memories and how fair, generous, thoughtful, pleasant you were Mom. - Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by all the family: Husband Steve, sons Alfred, Nick, Phyllis, Doris and the children Alf, Jason, Kelly, Carly and Nick Jr. Canora Courier November 24, 2004 Page B1 – In memory of: OSTAFIE: In loving memory of husband Victor, sons Ronnie and Jimmie Ostafie. All three of you went away without farewell, You said goodbye to none; But heaven’s gate was wide open, And a loving voice said “Come”. Beside your graves we often stand, Our hearts are tired and sore; But through the gloom there come the words, “Not dead, just gone before”. - Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by wife and mom, Mary, and family.
