Canora Courier, November 12, 2008 Page 13 – In memoriam:

JACKSON, Linda: 1939 - 2007.

I thought of you today,

But that is nothing new;

I thought about you yesterday,

And days before that too.

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name;

All I have are memories,

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake,

With which I will never part;

God has you in His arms,

I have you in my heart.

My best friend and sister in heart and soul,

I miss you so much.

-Pauline.

Canora Courier, November 12, 2008 Page 13 – In memoriam:

CHERNOWCHAN: In loving memory of Steve who passed away on November 13, 2006.

Sadly missed along life's way,

Lovingly remembered everyday:

No longer in our life to share,

But in our hearts he's always there.

-Lovingly remembered by Lorraine, Shirley and families.
