Canora Courier July 06, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: In loving memory of John Yaholnitsky. Our dear husband, dad and Dido who passed away July 4, 2004. It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side, But to all there comes a moment, When the ways of life divide. You gave us years of happiness, Then came sorrow and tears, But you left us beautiful memories, We will treasure through the years. Your presence is ever near us, Your love remains with us yet, You were the kind of father, Your children will never forget. - Sadly missed by Audrey, Marilyn, Michael and Carol, Ivan and Nthabiseng and families. Canora Courier July 06, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: YARECHEWSKI: In loving memory of Edward, who passed away July 6, 1995. There is a bridge of memory, From here to Heaven above; That keeps you very close to us, It’s called the bridge of love. As time goes by without you, And days turn into years; They hold a million memories, And a thousand silent tears, To us you were so special, What more is there to say; Except we wish with all our hearts, That you were here today. - Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by Angie, Lorelei, Colleen and their families. Canora Courier July 06, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: SPELAY: In loving memory of John, who passed away July 7, 2003.
