Canora Courier April 20, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: SCHESCHUK: In loving memory of Stanley, husband, father and Dido, who passed away Apr. 21, 2001. Remembered him with a smile today, He was not one for tears; Reflect instead on memories, Of all the happy years. Recall to mind the stories he told, All the things he did and said; The longtime friends he made, Remembered these instead. As we knew him, so we miss him, In our memory he is near; Loved, remembered, thought of always, Remembrance keeps him near. - Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by wife Helen, children and grandchildren. Canora Courier April 20, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: PETROFF: In loving memory of Stanley Petroff, who passed away on Apr. 18, 2004. In our Hearts We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new; We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name; Now all we have is memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part; God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart. - Always remembered by: Sophie Cooley and her family, Jack Petroff and his family, Fred Petroff and his family.
