In loving memory of Rose who passed away November 1, 1999. A
heart of gold stopped beating, Working
hands at rest; God
broke our hearts to prove to us, He
only takes the best. Leaves
and flowers may wither, The
golden sun may set; But
hearts that loved you dearly, Are
the ones that won't forget. -Always in our hearts, Gladys, Theresa and Marie and families. Canora Courier, November 01, 2006 Page 17 – In memory of: STARECKI:
In memory of Michael who passed away September 29, 1973 and of Terry who
passed away October 22, 1992. Memories
are like threads of gold, They
never tarnish or grow old; Deep
in our hearts your memory is kept, To
love and cherish, and never forget. -Forever loved and deeply missed by mom, dad, brothers and sisters and their families. Canora Courier, November 01, 2006 Page 17 – In memory of: ZIELINSKI,
STAN November 3, 2004 There
is someone who misses you sadly, And
finds the time long since you went; There
is someone who thinks of you always, And
tries to be brave and content. Gone
is the face we loved so dear, Silent
the voice we loved to hear; Tis
sad, but true, we wonder why, The
best are always the first to die. -Forever loved and missed, Darcy, Tammy, Keshia, Chantal, Keely-Che. Canora Courier, November 01, 2006 Page 18 STERANKO:

seek employment, which took him to Northern Manitoba where he worked at saw
mills and other various jobs. Later on he found himself in Winnipeg where he
landed a job with Dominion Bridge. This job took him to different points in
Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. He worked himself up to superintendent and
was also supervisor for Oil Refinery Services in Winnipeg. He remained with
the company for many years. He purchased a house and made Winnipeg his home.
Mike had many talents. Art and love of music was just a couple of them. He
loved playing guitar and fiddle and loved jamming with his friends. In his
spare time you could find him in his garage doing woodwork, building
furniture, etc. Unfortunately,
later on in life he suffered a stroke which left him paralysed and confined to
a wheelchair. Forced to retire, he sold his home and went into a nursing home
where he remained until his passing. Predeceased
