Canora Courier, September 14, 2005 Page B6 - In memory of: BILETSKI: In memory of Tanis Biletski (May 13, 1999 – Sept. 12, 2000) There’s a special angel in Heaven, That is a part of us; It is not where we wanted her, But where God wanted her to be. She was here just a moment, Like a night time shooting star; And though she is in Heaven, She isn’t very far. She touched the hearts of many, Like only an angel can do; We would’ve held her every minute, If the end we only knew. So we send this special message, To Heaven up above; Please take care of our angel, And send her all our love! -Sadly missed by mom, dad, Cody, Jessie and Lexie.
