Canora Courier, November 21, 2007 Page 11 – In memory of:

PRYCHAK: In loving memory of my dear sister, Sonia Caroline, who passed away November 19, 2005.

In a quiet country graveside,

Where the gentle breezes blow:

Sleeps the one we loved and lost,

Just two years ago.

Time goes by with many changes,

Joy and sorrows, smiles and tears;

But your memory has not faded,

With the passing of the years.

May the winds of love blow gently,

And whisper so you can hear;

That we still love and miss you,

And wish that you were here.

-Sadly missed and always remembered forever, Sylvia.

PRYCHAK: In loving memory of my sister, Sonia Caroline, who passed away November 19, 2005.

If flowers grow in Heaven, Lord,

Please pick a bunch for me;

Gently lay them in Sonia's hands,

And tell her they are from me.

Time slips away, but memories stay,

Quietly remembered day by day;

Happy thoughts of times together,

The memories that will last forever.

-Lovingly remembered by sister Adeline.

PROCYSHEN: In loving memory of my dear brother­in-law, Avery, who passed away November 25, 2005.

A golden heart stopped beating,

A gentle person at rest;

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

He had a nature you could not help loving,

And a heart that was purer than gold;

To those who knew him and loved him,

His memory will never grow cold.

-Lovingly remembered by Sylvia and Lance.

PRYCHAK, SONIA: In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and mother-in-law, who passed away Novem­ber 19, 2005.

We did not know that morning,

What sorrow that day would bring;

The bitter grief, the shock severe,

To part with one so dear.

You bid no one a last farewell,

Nor even said goodbye;

For you were gone before we knew,

And only God knows why.

Life must go on we know it's true,

But it's not the same since we lost you.

Until we meet again.

-Sadly missed and forever loved by Charles, Tricia and Kevin.

Canora Courier, November 21, 2007 Page 11 – In memory of:

PROCYSHEN: In loving memory of my dear husband, Avery, who passed away November 25, 2005.

I remember the day I met you,

And the day God made you mine;

I remember the day God took you,

And I will until the end of time.

We made our vows together,

Until death do we part;

But the day God took you from me,

My whole world fell apart.

Sometimes I think I'm dreaming,

I can't believe it's true;

That I can go on living,

When I no longer have you.

And the memories of the happy years,

When we were together;

The joys, the tears, the love, the fears,

Will stay with me forever.

And when I'm sad and lonely,

And everything goes wrong;

I seem to hear you whisper,

"Cheer up and carry on".

Each time I see your picture,

You seem to smile and say;

"Don't cry I'm only sleeping,

We'll meet again someday".

KOTYK: In loving memory of Peter J. Kotyk who passed away November 16, 1996.

This day is remembered,

And quietly kept;

No words are needed,

We shall never forget.

For those we loved,

Don't go away;

They walk beside us everyday.

Unseen and unheard,

But always near;

So loved, so missed,

And so very dear.

-Always remembered and sadly missed by wife, Elsie; children, Karen, Dennis, Valerie, Rita, Michael, Sharon, Amanda and families.

He had a nature you could not help loving,

And a heart that was purer than gold;

And to those who know him and loved him,

His memory will never grow cold.

-Lovingly remembered by Charles, Tricia and Kevin.

Steve Keller, beloved husband of Anne Keller, passed away at the Preeceville Hospital on November 9th, 2007 at the age of 80 years.

Steve was born on January 26th, 1927 to Bill and Dora (nee Bazansky) Keller in the Stenen district. As a young boy, Steve attended Liverpool School. He was united in marriage to Anne Wenarchuk on December 30th, 1953 and together they raised four children on the family farm near Stenen. Steve and Anne retired from farming and moved to Sturgis in October of 2006.

Steve spent the majority of his life devoted to family, farming and sports. He was a hard worker who loved farming. He had many interests but curling and wildlife were his greatest passions. Steve volunteered much of his time to curling events in Stenen. He was also secretary for the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation for many years. Knowing Steve's sons and grandsons, it is obvious that Steve's passion for curling and wildlife has been passed down to these generations. Steve was a very quiet and modest man. You never heard him brag about himself, even though he was very good in all sports. He strongly believed in showing "good sportsmanship", no matter if you won or lost; a trait he passed on to his children. Steve will be dearly missed by all his family and friends.

He is survived by his wife Anne; his daughters: Dianne (Ron) Bodnarek of Wadena, SK and Karen Keller of Sturgis, SK; his sons: Perry (Carla) Keller of Sturgis, SK and Allan (Bernadette) Keller of Creighton, SK; his brothers: Ernie (Lois) Keller of Newmarket, ON, Larry (Gloria) Keller of Chilliwack, BC, and Roger (Alice) Keller of Canora, SK; his sister: Louise (Allan) Zado of Summerland, BC; his seven grandchildren: Tara (Darin) Wrubleski of Olds, AB, Steven Bodnarek of Red Deer, AB, Justin Keller of Michigan, USA, David Keller of Yorkton, SK and Chris Keller, Brooke Keller and Jayden Keller, all of Sturgis, SK, and his great­grandchild Nicholas Bodnarek.

The Funeral Service was held on Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. from the Chapel of Leson's Funeral Home, Canora with Rev. Miles Russell officiating. Interment followed in the Canora Cemetery. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan as tokens of remembrance.

Arrangements were entrusted to LESON'S FUNERAL HOME, Canora. (563-5671).

In loving memory of Carol Wolkowski, Nov. 25, 2006

We seem to see in the soft dim light

A face we love the best;

Recalling her as the sun's last rays

Go down in the far off west.

We miss her more as time goes on,

We can never close our hearts;

And the lamp of our love still burns.

Her heart the truest in all the world,

Her love the best to recall;

None on earth could take her place,

She is still the dearest of all.

-Lovingly remembered and sadly missed Bernard, Trent and Cindy, Colby and Carmen, Grady and Porter.
