OSTAFIE: In loving memory of Peter who was taken from us suddenly on October 7, 1994.

Treasured forever are our memories of you,

Today, tomorrow and all our lives through;

Though life goes on and we must too,

The burden we carry is life without you.

Though 15 years have come and gone,

Our love for you lives on and on.

Dearly remembered and sadly missed, Anne, Pat, Ivan. Garry, Ginette, Chris, Jenny, Jessie, Brianna, Michelle, Kaylee and Brayden.
