Canora Courier March 23, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: KRUKOFF, Sonnia: In memory of a loving wife, mother, grandmother and daughter, who passed away March 26, 2003. Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me; I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play; Tasks left undone will stay that way, I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy; A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss, Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss. But not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow; My life has been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief; Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. - Sadly missed by Peter, Laura, Lionel, Pat, Randy, Dolores, Ricky, Tina, Taryn, Sydney, Jodi, and Erin. Canora Courier March 23, 2005 Page B1 – In memory of: MYDAN: In memory of Onufry Mydan, who passed away Mar. 24, 2001. There is a bridge on 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; It holds so many memories, And a thousand silent tears. To us you were very special. What more is there to say? Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today. - Lovingly remembered by wife Vera, Diana, Merv, Jerry and families.

Canora Courier March 23, 2005 Page B1 HOLOBOFF: In loving memory of Lena Holoboff, who passed away March 29, 2002. If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender felling Which from true affections flow. Love me now While I am living, Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it. - Sadly missed by son Wayne (Bobbie), son Chris (Teresa), grandsons Colin and Curtis, her family and many friends.
