Canora Courier, April 9, 2008 Page 15 – In memory of: GURSKI,
Polly: April 19, 1998, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Heaven's
gate swung gently open. The
Master called softly, "Come" And you, dear one, took the Master's hand, And your work on earth was done. We'll never cease to miss you, And shed many silent tears, Because we cannot share with you, Our hopes, our joys, our fears. But one day, in God's garden, When the Master calls us to come, You'll be at the gates with open arms, And say to us, "Welcome Home". -In loving memory from daughters and family. Canora Courier, April 9, 2008 Page 15 – In memory of: PEREPELUK: In loving memory of my wife, Elvena, who passed away April 14, 1998. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same; We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall; Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your hearts was kind and true; And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together; But with the love inside our hearts, You will walk with us forever. -Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by husband Steve. Canora Courier, April 9, 2008 Page 15 – In memory of: PEREPELUK: In loving memory of Elvena, a dear mother and baba, who passed away April 14, 1998. No one knows how much we miss you, No one knows the bitter pain; We have suffered since we lost you, Life has never been the same. In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly, tender, fond and true; There is not a day Mom, That we do not think of you. -Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by Shelly, Kim, Marnie, Ashley, Meagan, Brady and Chelsea and Ryan.
