The Disability Tax Credit $2,000 Yearly Tax Credit
After a tiring battle with cancer, Fern Rowley, a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend, died on August 25, 2015 in Arcola Hospital at the age of 73. She leaves behind her husband, George Rowley; her sons, Leonard, Wade (Lisa), Mark (Norma) and Scott Rowley. Fern was born on August 16, 1942 in Parkman, SK, on the farm to father Holly and mother Vera Smyth who predeceased her. She grew up in a, loving family with one sister and four brothers. Fern married George on May 13, 1961. She committed her life to her family. She loved her ower gardens, trees and the sounds of the birds. Fern and George built a life together with their four boys that they are very proud of. A marriage that grew stronger over the years and a love that can never be taken away. When diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006, she amazed her family, friends and doctors in her will to ght her illness. She remained brave, determined to win until it became undefeatable. Fern is survived by her husband and children, as well as her sisters, Gaye (Wiggins) and; her brothers, Hugh and Grant Smyth; her grandchildren, Salena, William, Katelynn, Devan; great grandchildren, Emyliah and Oliver and nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Glen and Milt Smyth; her daughter Loretta, who died in infancy and her sister-in-law Deb Symth. Fern requested to be cremated. Her ashes will be buried at the Manor Cemetery along with a graveside service for the family. The family would especially like to thank Doctor Salim with the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, and a special thank you to Doctor Dennis Jones for his tireless effort in locating her cancer. Fern also had many other caring doctors and nurses at both the Pasqua Hospital in Regina and the Arcola Hospital for their constant, attentive treatment; and the Orstead Funeral Home, for making the arrangements. In lieu of owers, please send a donation to The National Lung Cancer Foundation. Forever In Your Heart Feel no guilt in laughter She knows how much you care Feel no sorrow in a smile That she’s not here to share You cannot grieve forever She would not want you to She’d hope that you would carry on The way you always do So talk about the good times And the ways you showed you cared The days you spent together All the happiness you shared Let memories surround you A word someone might say Will suddenly recapture A time, an hour, a day That brings her back as clearly As though she was still here And lls you with the feelings That say she’s always near For if you keep those moments You will never be apart And they will live forever Safely locked within your heart

I don’t know the answer
By Linda Wegner There are some days when I simply don’t have any answers. To those who know me best, that may seem highly improbable but it’s true. And, I suspect, it applies to many of you as well. Moving from the foolish to the serious, here are some examples of “life’s unanswered questions” someone posted online: Why does a round pizza come in a square box? If a person owns a piece of land, do they own it to the centre of the earth? I won’t go on so relax….but between you and me, those queries are not worth spending time on. On the other hand, some of life’s challenges cry out for an explanation. For starters, here’s one that I’ve never been able to explain: Why am I a longterm cancer survivor while others succumb to the disease before they’ve had the opportunity to really live? I don’t know. What I do know, however, is that I have learned to despise “easy answers”. In chatting with a good friend this afternoon, the deteriorating health of a mutual friend was part of the conversation and I told her of my reluctance to publicly celebrate the upcoming twenty-third anniversary of being cancer-free in light of his condition. Without weighing in with theological justification she urged me to celebrate both lives because we are promised healing - whether here or in the immediate presence of the Lord. “And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory.” (I Corinthians 15:54, Amplified Version) Why are dandelions considered weeds and daisies are considered flowers? I don’t know but this is certain: we have everything to live for and everything to die for.
