Canora Courier, September 21, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: YARYCKY: Mike Yarycky, Sept. 22, 1995 (It’s been 10 years). Those we love remain with us, For love itself lives on; Cherished memories never fade, Because a loved one is gone. Those we love can never be, Move that a thought apart; For as long as there are memories, You live in our hearts. -Your family: wife Mary; Wayne and Joan and family; Dave and Barb and family.

Canora Courier, September 21, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: BESKOWIMEY: In loving memory of Mary, March 24, 1919 – Sept. 17, 2004. Don’t think of her as gone away, Just think of her as resting. From the sorrow and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today; How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of he as living, In the hearts of those she touched; For nothing loved is ever lost, And Mom was loved so very much. -Sadly missed by husband Mike; daughters Alice and Shirley; sons Ernie and Jerry; spouses and families.
