Canora Courier March 16, 2005 Page B1 – In memoriam Elsie (Elizabeth) Surcon (nee Andrusko) December 12, 1919 – March 19, 2004 You were always there when we needed you, No task to great or small; With a loving heart and a willing hand, For us you did it all. There will always be heartache, And often a silent tear; But always precious memories, Of the days when you were here. ~ Lovingly remembered by your family ~ Harry & Marian; Dave & Irene; Calvin, Donna, Ashley & Jenna; Gerald; Denise. Canora Courier March 16, 2005 Page B1 – In memoriam ANAKA: Ella, March 17, 2004: Today recalls the memory, Of a loved one gone to rest; And those who think of her today, Are those who loved her best. The flowers we lay upon her grave, May wither and decay; But the love for her who lies beneath, Will never fade away. - Loved, missed, and remembered by Marlene, Ernie Kozak, family; Jennifer, Floyd Tanton, family; Gene, Jocelyn Anaka, family. Canora Courier March 16 2005 Page B1 BREZINSKI: Edward J., who passed away mar. 13, 2004. Softly the stars are shining upon a precious grave, Beneath is one we truly loved but who we could not save. We mourn for him in silence, an empty void we feel. Fondest memories are locked within our hearts, no one can break the seal. In life we loved him dearly, in death we love him still. In our hearts he holds a special place no one can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose him, but he didn’t go alone. For part of use went with him the day God took him home. - Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by wife Anne and children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. |
