Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

PASLOSKI, Nettie: April 15,1913 - March 1, 2006.

A dear mother, lovingly remembered:

In a quiet country gravesite,

Where gentle breezes sway;

Lies the one we loved and lost;

One year ago today.

Her resting place we visit,

And place flowers there with care;

But no one knows the heartache,

As we turn and leave her there.

Please take her in your arms, dear Lord,

And whisper in her ear;

Tell her how much we miss her,

And wish she was still here.

Memories of her lie within our hearts,

And there she will remain;

To walk with us through­out our lives,

Until we meet again.

May you rest in peace dear mother,

We love and miss you dearly.

-Your daughter and son­in-law, Jeanette and Glen.

Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

MACFARLANE: In loving memory of a dear sister, mom and baba, Audrey, who passed away February 27,1999.

Just a prayer from us who love you,

A precious memory kind and true;

In our hearts you will live forever,

Because we thought the world of you.

Your memory is our keepsake,

From which we will never part;

God has put you in His keeping,

We have you in our hearts.

-Dearly loved and sadly missed by Evelyn, Ken, Rob, Marilynne, Bonnie, Dave, Kurt, Jamie, Sean and Nicole and Thomas.

Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

PASLOSKI, Nettie: April 15,1913-March 1,2006.

They say that there are angels,

Who come in every size;

And we shared our life with one of them,

So precious in our eyes.

The angel was our mother,

The greatest mom on earth;

And we cannot explain to you,

The value of her worth.

A woman who loved her children,

And showed it every day;

She gave her love so easily,

In every kind of way.

She never left us hurting,

Without sharing in our pain;

She was always there for us,

Only love she asked to gain.

So precious, kind and caring,

Just like God's angels are;

Now she's up in heaven.

Watching over us from afar.

Her presence never leaves us,

Though we cannot see her face;

She's with all other an­gels,

In a beautiful, peaceful place.

Mom, if we could tell you,

How your life has touched us still

We would tell you how we worship you

And always, always will.

-Forever loved and missed, Elaine.

Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

PASLOSKI, Nettie: April 15, 1913 - March 1, 2006. 

In loving memory of our dear Baba.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we'll never part;

God has you in His keeping,

We have you in our hearts.

We miss you Baba.

-Love always Kerry and Sean.

Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

PASLOSKI, Nettie: April 15,1913-March 1, 2006.

A year ago you left us morn,

Our hearts were split in two;

One side filled with memories,

The other left with you.

We often lay awake at night,

When the world is fast asleep;

And take a walk down memory lane,

With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is so easy mom,

We do it everyday;

But missing you is a heartache,

That never goes away.

-Loved and sadly missed, Al and Bette Wasylenka.

Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

HRYWKIW: In loving memory of my dear husband Laddie, dad and Gido, passed away March 2, 2001.

May the winds of love blow gently,

And whispers so you will hear;

That we still love and miss you,

And wish that you were here.

With memories to cherish,

You are in our hearts,

And there you will always remain,

To walk with us throughout our lives,

Until God joins our family circle once again.

-With loving memories, love Lenore and families.

Canora Courier, February 28, 2007 Page 17 – In memory of:

YAWORSKI: In memory of parents: Mary, February 28, 1985; Bill, February 25,1992.

Every day in some small way,

Memories of you come my way.

-Minnie.

Steve Rudnitski of Canora and formerly of Buchanan passed away peacefully at the Canora Hospital on February 16th, 2007 at the age of 90 years. Steve was born on August 3rd, 1916 to Fred and Annie (nee Derkatch) Rudnitski in the Michelview district near Buchanan, SK. He attended the Monastyr School while helping his parent's farm. He later purchased his own land nine miles north of Buchanan. Throughout the winter months, he would work in the bush cutting cord wood. Steve had his own sawing outfit and would saw wood for many people. He also worked for farmers doing various jobs. Steve was a skilled blacksmith and welder.

As a young man, Steve played with a band at many local weddings. He was talented at playing the violin and dolcimar. Steve also served as secretary for Monastyr School, and was an active member of Olesha Church. Steve's nieces always enjoyed going to Uncle Steve's across the road and sitting inside his fancy big cars. They also liked going to his ice house and seeing the variety of goods he stored there.

Steve married Pauline Pawluk on September 16th, 1972 at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Buchanan. In 1980, they retired from farming, moved to Buchanan and resided on 1st Avenue East. In Buchanan, he became a member of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. During his retirement, Steve kept busy with small engine repairs, fixing chain saws, lawn mowers, garden tillers, hedge trimmers etc. Steve enjoyed Christmas carolers and made sure they had a little something to wet their vocal cords. He also looked forward to listening to the GX 94 Saturday Night Get-Together on the radio. He was very disappointed when there would be a hockey broadcast as he would have to wait until 10:00 p.m. to hear his favourite Ukrainian tunes.
