Tributes MEMORIAM
LASTIWKA, Lillian January 18, 1939 – January 3, 2021 MOM There are no words to tell you Mom What losing you has meant But now each day brings memories Of happy years we spent. You’d want us all to smile again And that’s just what we do Every time we reminisce With loving thoughts of you. You’re with us when each new day dawns And when we say goodnight Our guardian angel here on earth And Heaven’s shining light. Dwayne and Becky
SHAPKA, Lucy 1934-2020 In loving memory of Lucy Shapka Remember her with a smile today She was not one for tears Reflect instead on memories Of all the happy years Recall to mind the way she spoke And all the things she said Her strength, her stance, the way she cared Remember these instead The good advice she’d give us Her eyes that shone with laughter So much of her will never die But live on ever after As we loved you, so we miss you In our memory all the while Loved, remembered, longed for always Bringing many, many a smile. Forever loved and deeply missed By Your Loving Children and Families
KOMARNISKI, Lawrence In loving memory of Lawrence Harry Komarniski December 31, 1941 - January 7, 2015 Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you Silent are the tears that fall Living without you is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us Your heart was so kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever. Lovingly remembered by Donna, Zenith, Sabrina, Miller, Max, Zane, Amanda, Addison, Zenon, Tygan and Aiden.

ORLESKY, Sophie In memory of our sister, auntie, great-auntie Sophie Orlesky who passed on January 7, 2003 He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. 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 you, The day God called you home. Forever missed by: Nick and Sandra Fasek Todd, Linda, Jasmine and Diesel Fenske
CARSON, Rodney James March 21, 1950 - January 11, 2020 I wish I could see you one more time, Come walking through the door… But I know that is impossible, I will hear your voice no more. I know you can feel my tears And you don’t want me to cry, Yet my heart is broken because I can’t understand why someone So precious had to die. I pray that God will give me strength And somehow get me through… As I struggle with the heartache That came When I Lost You. Forever loved and deeply missed Love, Lorriane, children and grandchildren

Debbie Fedoruk Submitted Every year the Wendy Brook Music Festival awards bursaries to festival participants to attend music or drama camps. In 2020, no bursaries were given out, due to COVID. However, in 2021 a few participants did manage to find camps to go to and were given bursaries. As a condition of the bursary, participants are required to perform at a bursary concert at a senior’s home in their area. Just in time for Christmas, three bursary winners were allowed to perform at Heritage House seniors’ home to give
a short concert on Dec. 17. Shade Clark played some fiddle tunes. Josie Lutzak and Julia Dolejsi sang several songs each. The seniors then asked the participants to lead in singing a couple of Christmas carols. The bursaries were sponsored by Perogies and Jam, the Lions Club of Vegreville and Li Giebelhaus. The seniors were very appreciative that young people came and performed for them. There were seven other bursary recipients: Arielle Turrett, Laura Vaters, Jasper Vaters, Alana Vaters, Caroline Parke, Susan Parke and Shirley Parke.
