Canora Courier, May 02, 2007 Page 16 - In memory of:

SUSHELNITSKI: In loving memory of my husband, Mike, who passed away May 1,1996.

To a beautiful life comes a sudden end,

He died as he lived, everyone's friend;

He was always thoughtful, loving and kind,

What wonderful memories he left behind.

Treasure him God, he was the best.

-Sadly missed by wife Mary and family.

 

Canora Courier, May 02, 2007 Page 16 - In memory of:

BURYM: In loving memory of a dear dad, gido and great-gido, Paul Burym (February 23, 1927 - April 20, 2006).

God took him home, it was His will,

But in our hearts we love him still;

His memory is as dear today,

As in the hour he passed away.

We often sit and think of him, when we are alone.

For memory is the only friend that grief can call its own.

Those whom we love go out of sight,

But never out of mind;

They are cherished in the hearts of those they leave behind.

Loving and kind in all his ways,

Upright and just to the end of his days;

Sincere and true in heart and mind,

What beautiful memories he left behind.

Dad, your heart is still

now, your pain released,

Our love goes with you to

your heavenly place.

We miss you dad.

-Love your family.
