we meet again Broken
Chain "Little
we knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved
you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did
not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You
left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot
see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing
seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, God
Looked Around His Garden God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. Canora Courier, April 23, 2008 Page 17 – In memoriam: SCHESCRUK:
In loving memory of Stanley, husband, father and gido who passed away April
21, 2001. The
golden gates softly opened, Seven years ago today; With
goodbyes left unspoken; You quietly passed away. God
gave us strength to bear it, And
courage to stand the blow; And
what it meant to lose you, No
one will ever know. -Forever remembered by wife Helen, children and grandchildren. Canora Courier, April 23, 2008 Page 17 – In memoriam: DANYLUK:
In loving memory of our father and gido, Paul, who passed away
April 28,1999. We
often think of days gone by, When
we were all together; A
shadow o'er our lives has cast, Our
loved one gone forever. You're
not forgotten, father, dear. Or
ever shall you be; As
long as life and memory last, I
shall remember thee. -Always missed and sadly remembered by Leonard, Debbie, Nolan, Ryan, Brett, Richard, Jacob and Tiger. Canora Courier, April 23, 2008 Page 18 ZIEBEN:
It is with sorrow that the family of John Zeiben, age 83, announces his
passing on March 28th, 2008. John
was born June 26th, 1924 in Buchanan, SK. He attended Devil's Lake School and
the Kamsack Collegiate. John worked for many years as the caretaker at the
Buchanan School and then later with the Saskatchewan Department of Highways
until his retirement in 1983. John kept a warm and welcoming home in Buchanan
for all of us who loved to visit there. For a person who never married or had
his own children, he was very much a family man. In
2006, John moved to Eaglestone Lodge in Kamsack and enjoyed living there a
great deal. We would like to thank the staff of Eaglestone Lodge and the
Kamsack Hospital for the care they gave to him. He
will be greatly missed by his nieces Elaine and Eleanora. His memory will be
cherished by his grandnephews and nieces and cousins. John is survived by
his grandniece Krystal (Kirk) Hodge and their daughter Anikka, grandniece
Heather Nieminen and their father Gary Nieminen (Joyce); niece Elaine
McGimpsey (Wayne) and their children Tasha (George) Sudsbear, Ian, and Sarah;
niece Eleanora (Fred) Robertson and their children Max, Lucas, and Drew. John
is also survived by his sister-in-law Florence Zeibin. John was predeceased by
his parents John (1936) and Dora (2001); brother Fred (2007); niece Jeanette
Nieminen (1987); and infant grandnephew Sean Robertson (1993). A

Eugenia Gerechka of the Canora Gateway Lodge passed away at the Canora
Hospital on April 14th, 2008 at the age of 95 years. Eugenia
was born on January
2nd, 1913 in Poroknik, Krakov, Western Ukraine to Stephan and Michalena (Charnetska)
Lesiuk. She attended school in Zolochiv, in the district of Lviv, where she
earned her teacher's certification in 1932. She gave private lessons until she
was offered a full time teaching position in a primary school in Yarotnik.
With the outbreak of the Second World War, she became displaced by the German
occupation of Ukraine. Throughout six years of war, she managed to survive
camp relocations, and other serious obstacles. She
immigrated to Canada in 1948, settling in Winnipeg, MB until her marriage to
Ivan Gerechka. Eugenia and Ivan were married on September 3rd, 1950 in
Kamsack, SK. Together they relocated to a farm near Mikado, SK where they
raised their two sons, Roman and Andrew. They remained on the farm until 1973,
when they moved to Canora. Once in Canora, Eugenia began working at the Canora
Gateway Lodge as an Activities Director. On December 24th, 1981, Ivan passed.
Eugenia continued working until she retired in 1991. She
was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary at Sts. Peter & Paul
Ukrainian Catholic Church for many years. Eugenia was very proud of her
Ukrainian heritage. Her main focus was always on her family, church, and
friends. She was a superb cook, and prepared many different traditional dishes
from the Ukraine. She
is lovingly remembered by her son Roman of Canora, SK, her son Andrew,
daughter-in-law, Kathryn, and their two children, David and Anna Marie, all of
Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, and Roman's daughter, Tricia. Eugenia was fond of
all her nieces and nephews, and her friends and associates within the
