JAMES SCOTT KRAYNYK Dec. 24, 1975 to Jan. 10, 2007 It is with deepest sadness and regret that we announce the sudden passing of James Scott Kraynyk Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2007 at his home in Winnipeg, MB.

Jamie, more than anyone we knew, lived his life to the fullest. The incredible obstacles he faced did not stop him from furthering his dreams. Jamie was the epitome of the phrase, "When life hands you lemons, you just make lemonade." We marvelled as we watched him further his education at college, develop his computer-based business, create a practical and comfortable home for himself, and take charge of his life in any way that would give him maximum independence and control. He was really a model and inspiration to all who knew him. The family wishes to extend sincere thanks to the many caregivers who helped Jamie enjoy his independence for so many years. A celebration of Jamie's life was held Monday, Jan. 15 at 10:30 a.m. at Ascension of Our Lord, Ukrainian Catholic Church of Sundown, MB. Interment at the parish cemetery followed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, Room ON1160 - 675 McDermot Ave.; Wpg., MB R3E 0V9 or to Ascension of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church, Sundown, MB R0A 2C0.

He had a love for hunting, ice fishing, gardening and his apple trees and grape vines. He loved playing his violin and the harmony it brought to the house. He also played for weddings in his earlier years. Playing King Pedro and Canasta was a weekend game Dad would not miss.

BREANNA KADEN ALEXIS HIEBERT Breanna Kaden Alexis was granted her angel wings Jan. 10, 2007. Jesus led her to her eternal home where tears are forgotten and days are filled with immeasurable happiness and peace in the presence of her Father.

ELVIN GOERTZEN Elvin Goertzen passed away Jan. 13, 2007 at the Bethesda Hospital, Steinbach, MB after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born Oct. 2, 1948 to Karl and Katherina Goertzen and grew up on the farm south of Landmark, MB. At a young age he contracted an illness that left him with a mental disability. He attended the Kindale School in Steinbach, and later began work at Kindale Industries where he was employed for 37 years. He enjoyed his work and was appreciated for his woodworking and power-tool skills. The highlight of his week was payday. He loved family gatherings, especially seeing all his nieces and nephews. This was illustrated by the hand-made gifts he would hand out on these occasions. As well, he always loved the food. From an early age he expressed a deep faith in God and two years ago he was baptized. This gave him a great sense of peace. In 1999 Elvin was diagnosed with cancer. After major surgery, his recovery was slow, but eventually he was able to return to work. In November of 2000 his Dad had to enter Rest Haven Nursing Home, and Elvin entered foster care. Three years ago his cancer returned. He had many intense struggles with his health, but maintained a positive and loving spirit as he grew weaker and weaker. Elvin is survived by his father Karl F. Goertzen, formerly of Landmark, two sisters Carolyn (Henry) Huisman of Calgary, AB, Joyce of Winnipeg, MB three brothers Frank (Irene) of Kola, Karl (Grace) and Len (Lottie) all of Winnipeg, and numerous nieces and nephews.
