DANYLUK: In loving memory of our mother and baba, Emily, who passed away September 28, 1996.

We do not need a special day,

To bring you to our mind;

The days we do not think of you,

Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake,

We know that you are gone:

And no one knows the heartache.

As we try to carry on.

Our heart still aches with sadness,

And secret tears still flow;

What it meant to lose you,

No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,

Your place no one can till;

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still.

-Sadly missed and always remembered by Debbie, Leonard, Nolan, Ryan, Brett, Richard and Jacob.
