“Anytime is coffee time” was a fond saying of Lillian’s and she was known for always having homemade goodies to go with the coffee breaks. She was an energetic woman, “always in a hurry”, who enjoyed time with family and friends, trying new recipes, preparing for Christmas, and expressing herself through the painting of local landscapes. She was very proud of her children and grandchildren.

Louis Paul Elorza was born March 16, 1946 in Reno, Nevada to Paul and Benedicta Elorza. Lou graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a Bachelor’s Degree in Zoology in 1968. June 8, 1968 He married Cathy and continued his education. He earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University in June of 1973. Lou and Cathy immigrated to Terrace, British Columbia in August 1973 to join Dr Jim Proctor’s veterinary practice. Lou then based his own practice in Terrace and Kitimat, but travelled extensively throughout the Northwest from the Queen Charlotte's to Cassiar trying to help every one he could.
April 11, 1974 Lou and Cathy’s first son Jason was born. Twenty months later their second son Ronnie was born.
Everyone knew Lou lived his life to the fullest. He had an unending passion for the outdoors. Lou’s explorations led him from Alaska to the Patagonia and all places in between. After reaching the oceans at both ends he turned to Russia and New Zealand.
Lou is survived by his wife Cathy, sons Jason and Ronnie and his mother
Benedicta and a soon-to-be-born grandson.
Lou left everlasting footprints on the hearts of everyone that he met. By the time we join Lou, he will surely have the best fishing holes and the prettiest places staked out. In the mean time we will all miss him.

LOOK, Robert (Bob) Ness Monday, 24 Mar 2008
Terrace, BC
Beloved husband, father and grandfather. Bob died peacefully on March 24, 2008. We are happy that he is now with his wife, Kay, who pre-deceased him 1½ years ago. Bob leaves behind children Chris (Debbie), Judy, and Andrea (Dave) Warner, and grandchildren Kristen, Graham (Shyla), Amy, Andrew, Mary, Morgan and Emily. Bob was so loved and cherished. His caring manner and good spirits will be greatly missed.
Bob worked for the CPR before longshoring for many years. He had many wonderful qualities that endeared him to those who knew him: a playful sense of humour, a keen interest in the world around him, a deep appreciation for nature (including his great delight in the “four-leggeds” that he knew, and his ability to spot an eagle from a mile away), and his never-ending efforts to ensure the well-being of those around him. His favourite leisure activities were boating, exploring and spending time at the family cabin on Galiano Island. His grandchildren well remember the trails he made for their enjoyment at the property. Bob also had an adventurous spirit and would enthusiastically follow any road - the more deserted the better.
After living his adult life in Victoria and Coquitlam, Bob spent his last nine months in Terrace. Bob really enjoyed and benefited from the warmth with which he was accepted into the community.
His family would like to thank the Home Care Nurses and the staff of Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace for their compassionate care of Bob in his last days, as well as Dr. Strydom in Terrace and Dr. Attwell in Victoria.

Belanger, Monique, Claudia Saturday, 08 Mar 2008
Terrace, BC
September 13, 1966 - March 8, 2008
Monique Claudia Bélanger, born September 13, 1966, passed away suddenly on March 8, 2008, in the serenity of the outdoors, which she so dearly loved.
Monique was born and raised in the beautiful community of Kitimat, a town whose rugged beauty was her lifelong playground. Monique first attended St. Anthony’s School and then graduated from MESS in 1984. In 1989, Monique’s life would be forever changed by the arrival of her beautiful son Dylan. Dylan was the love of Monique’s life. She brought up Dylan to be an exceptional individual, cultivating a young man who is loving, creative, adventurous, and so incredibly talented.
Monique loved and was loved by so many people. She relentlessly spent her life trying to please and enrich people’s lives, in her own special way. Her friends and family were her life. Monique possessed this special gift for being able to see the beauty in people, and never hesitated to compliment you on what your gift was.
Monique’s vibrant personality and healthy glow will be dearly missed by her friends and family. She is survived by her son Dylan, dad Léon (Patsy), sisters Kim (Don) and Debbie (Dave), brother Darrell (Sonia), and many other friends and family. She is pre-deceased by her mother, Jackie Bélanger (nee Harmel) in 2004.
In memory of Monique, take some time, go outside, and listen to the birds. Remember the simplicity of what her life represented: both loving and appreciating all those around her, and reveling in the dazzling display of nature that moved her so passionately.
