Talking Over Turkey helps St. Vincent de Paul
LEAMINGTON — With the recent announcement that Talking Over Turkey would take hiatus again this year due to COVID restrictions, Deanna and Mike Diab have put their support behind St. Vincent de Paul at St. Michael’s Church in Leamington. “We’re thrilled to be able to help families throughout our community in a different capacity,” said Mike. “We’ll be purchasing enough turkeys to fulfill the needs of families through St. Vincent de Paul with the help of several private and compassionate donors.” St. Vincent de Paul St. Michael’s Leamington is also looking for volunteers to help prepare the Christmas Hampers for those in need. If you’d like to volunteer or make a donation, call Stephanie Heaton at 519-329-0613 for more in-
formation. If you’d further like to help Mike Diab’s quest to procure turkeys for the needy, please message him on Facebook and he will gladly accept your help. IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of

LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Area Ecumenical Refugee Committee (LAERC) is still active and continues to hold its monthly meetings on Zoom. LAERC is a non-profit group whose mandate is to sponsor a refugee family each year to come and settle in Canada. The latest family has now finished with LAERC’s sponsorship and the children are doing really well in school. At its latest meeting, LAERC discussed fundraising ideas. The group’s financial situation is at
a low and sometime in the near future they will welcome a family of seven (parents and five children). There have been several delays with paperwork and now it has been discovered that the man’s military records are lost. To help with its financial situation, LAERC is looking for financial donations. If you are looking for Christmas ideas, a monetary gift to LAERC would be most appreciated. Cheques can be made out Knox Presbyterian Church with LAERC in the memo line. A tax receipt will be issued.

Should you go first and I remain To walk the road alone, I’ll live in memory’s garden, dear, With happy days we’ve known. In Spring I’ll wait for roses red, When fades the lilac blue. In early Fall, when brown leaves call I’ll catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain, One thing I’d have you do: Walk slowly down that long, long path, For soon I’ll follow you. I’ll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same, For someday down that long, long road You’ll hear me call your name. Always in our hearts.

Eight years have passed since that sad day, When one we loved was called away. God took him home – it was His will, Within our hearts Mark liveth still. Sadly missed but never forgotten. Mom (Irene), Ken & Marisa, Christine & Ron, Karisa, Devin & Dillon
