Canora Courier, October 18, 2006 Page 16 – In memory of:

MARCHINKO:  In loving memory of our dear son David, who passed away October 16.1999.

We never ask for miracles,

But today just one would do:

To see the door pushed open.

And see you walking through.

If we could have one lifetime wish,

One dream that could come true;

We would wish with all our hearts,

For yesterday and you.

Our hearts still ache with sadness,

And silent tears still flow;

For what it meant to lose you,

No one will ever know.

-Always loved and deeply missed, Mom and Dad.

Hold precious memories that will last forever.

Memories are like threats 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, October 18, 2006 Page 16 – In memory of:

WOLKOWSKI: In loving memory of a beloved husband, dad and grandpa, Louis, who passed away October 21, 2003.

Our eyes filled with tears as we think of that day,

When you left us in such a sad way;

Although we smile and seem carefree.

No one misses you more than we.

We hold our tears when we speak your name.

But the ache in our hearts remain the same;

No one knows the sorrow we share,

When our family meets and you're not there.

Put your arms around him Lord,

Tell him how much we care;

Keep him safe beside you,

Until we meet him there.

Others are taken, yes we know,

But he was ours and we loved him so.

We miss you more than words can say,

Forever in our hearts and mind,

You will always stay.

-Remembered and loved always, Rose, Laureen, Brian and family, Darrell, Darlene and family, Darla and family.
