Philippians 1:6, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." George loved life and did quite well in certain areas of academics. Even though he only had eight years of education, he excelled in memory work, loved to sing, and had memorized many of the German hymns that he would sing with gusto. His favorite was The Great Physician. When we came to Canada he learned to speak English and in time taught himself to read. After his salvation, in the spring of 1964, he became a faithful reader of scripture and a faithful witness. Several years later he attended Prairie Bible Institute for a year and also attended several short term Bible school sessions in Manitoba. Several years ago we talked about some of the Christians who had been influential in our family's salvation. I had seldom seen him as excited as when we talked about the godly influence of Christians who brought us to the point of salvation. We talked at length about some of our Christian friends and about Mom and Dad. He then began to talk about his anticipation of Heaven. He talked about being healed; about having a new body that would be perfect because there will be no sin. He wrote many "poems" and a recurring theme in them was Heaven. He was predeceased by his sister Maria in 1940; by his mother, Maria (nee Penner) in 1992; and by his father, Cornelius, in 1999. He is survived by five brothers and three sisters, and many nieces and nephews. As a family we want to express a special thanks to the Oakview Nursing Home for the excellent care that they provided for him in the later years of his life. We also want to express our thanks to the Ness Avenue Baptist Church for ministering to him and caring for him in many ways. As brothers and sisters, we want to express a very special thanks to our sister Nettie, who so faithfully and regularly visited him and during these last weeks and months, sat with him, and reminded him of the love of Jesus that really encouraged him, even though he could no longer verbally respond. Funeral service will be held Friday, Feb. 10 at 2 p.m., with viewing one hour before the service at the MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, 433 Main Street, Stonewall, Man. Interment will take place at Victoria Cemetery, Balmoral, Man. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall, in care of arrangements.

She married Theo in 1947 and settled in Sundown, where she resided until August 2005. Mary was a life-long member of the Ukrainian Women's Association and the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church.

Many of these friendships endured from the time she moved to Sundown, to when she was suddenly widowed and went to work at Shevchenko School, and then after her retirement until her passing. It is a tribute to her that these friendships extended across all ages, and many were life long. She was often heard to remark, "People are so good to me," and they were, because she was that type of person. We, her family, mourn her deeply and are thankful and proud to be her children and grandchildren. She left a legacy that will be with us forever: that it is family and friends who are most important.
