JOHN MACHULA With the sun rising, the birds singing and the pussy willows waiting to be blessed on this Palm Sunday morning, our father/gido John Machula passed away on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at the wonderful age of 96 years and 6 months.

Dad attended school in Vita and then went on to further his education at Wesley College in Winnipeg from which he graduated. He then returned to Vita to be a laborer and farmer and labor he did. Dad spent 90 years living at his home. On Remembrance Day 2001 he moved to the Shady Oaks in Vita, till his hip broke (2003) and he could no longer look after himself. Dad was very community minded — he was a life member of the St. Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Church, Ukrainian National Home of Vita, Vita Credit Union (Manager), Vita Co-op Creamery, Shevchenko School District #1388, Boundary School Division Board, the Liberal Party of Provencher/MB, Ukrainsky Narodny Fond just to name a few. He also was on the Board of the Vita and District Hospital and the Vita Personal Care Home — for which we are so blessed that they built in Vita, for all our residents. Ironically that is where dad's last home was to be on this earth. Rest well Dad, you have lived a full life. We will miss you, love you and never forget you. Many special thank you's to Dr. M. Weeraratne, dad's home care workers, staff of the Vita Hospital and all the wonderful, caring, compassionate staff of the Vita Personal Care Home.

Dad was born March 29, 1921 and lived his earlier years in the Grunthal area, where he worked as a farm labourer. On June 13, 1953 he married Susan Harder from Kleefeld and settled in Grunthal where he started Grunthal Transfer. He later sold the business and became an orderly/ambulance attendant at Bethesda Hospital. This resulted in the family moving to Steinbach in 1969. After retiring in 1986 he enjoyed many years of travel with his wife Susan, and spending time with family and friends. He was active with many seniors groups and CSSM camps. Dad enjoyed talking to people and made many friends over the years. Many people have fond memories of Dad, from his carpet-bowling and pool companions, to the clerks at Sobeys who enjoyed his chocolate bar tips, to those who took part in his free sidewalk sermons outside the Post Office and RBC. Dad's family, especially his grandchildren, was a source of joy for him, and he played a huge role in everyone's lives. He loved to talk, but always took time to listen. He will be dearly missed as our constant source of support and inspiration. Dad leaves behind daughter Sandi and Ed Voth, grandchildren Julie (Daniel) and Kristie (Jon), great-grandson John Edward; son Bob and Mavis, grandchildren Jeremiah, Samara and Skye, great-granddaughter Peyton; son Don and Jennifer; daughter Lynda, grandchildren Joe (Angela), Matthew (Andrea), Robyn and Mitchell; daughter Karen and Jackie, granddaughters Carollyne and Sarah; brother Daniel (Margaret) and sister Anna (Peter) Koop.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Cornelius and her children: Larry (Viera) of Winnipeg, Menno (Tamara) of Kleefeld, Gordon of Winnipeg, Anna (Bert) Toews of Steinbach, Eldon (Cindy) of Winnipeg. She will be also missed by her 12 grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents and two brothers. Mom loved her gardening and many houseplants. She also devoted her time to making blankets for the poor in Russia. She saved scraps from old blankets and clothing to make patchwork blankets so that nobody would go cold. Mom was very creative and was able to find value and a place for everything. She also enjoyed crocheting blankets. Many of the patterns from her blankets came from her own imagination. She made each of her children a wedding blanket. It was also very important to her to have her blanket chest full so she had enough for all her grandchildren to pick on out on their 16th birthday. We will miss her big pots of soup that she loved to make when she knew that any of us children where coming home to visit. The funeral service will be Thursday, Feb. 7, at 2 p.m. at the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church, 84 Oak Ave, Grunthal. Interment at Grunthal Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to your local food bank. The family would like to thank Dr. Ilchyna and the caring hospital staff.

ESAU 1920 — 2008 Corny, husband to Mary, passed away suddenly Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2008 at the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, MB, at the age of 87. He was born on July 23, 1920 in the USSR. Corny immigrated to Canada in 1926 along with his family. The family settled in Blumenort, West Reserve in the fall of 1926. In the spring of 1927 they moved to a farm in the Rosengard area west of Steinbach, MB. He was educated in the Rosengard school district and was one of the first to graduate with his grade 8. Corny was baptized upon his confession of faith on June 8, 1941 in the Elim Mennonite Church in Grunthal, MB. On Aug. 1, 1953 Corny married Mary Friesen, the love of his life, in Ste Elizabeth, MB. They settled on his family farm where they raised their four children. This is where he taught us family values and how to work. We have many wonderful memories of working and playing together. In 1981 Corny and Mary moved to 375 Henry St. in Steinbach. This is the home where the grandchildren spent a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa. They played many a card game with their grandparents. Dad spent many hours back on the farm during the summer, helping with the field work. His other summer passion was tending his flowers outside the house. As he got older and wasn't going to the farm as much, he started his woodworking hobby, making bread boards, birdhouses, clocks and furniture. Each family member has some token of this talent. In April of 2007, Corny and Mary moved to Fernwood. Here Dad made many new friends, enjoying visiting and puzzling in the sun room. Memories of his life will be cherished by his wife of 54 years, Mary; sons, Don (Linda), Leonard (Maria), Brian (Cheryl); daughter Marianne (Wilf); 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; also one brother, George (Tina); two sisters, Anne Ginter and Mary Esau and their families; five sisters-in-law; two brothers-in-law and their families. Corny was predeceased by his parents, Gerhard and Anna Esau; one brother, Diedrich; two sisters-in-law and four brothers-in-law. Viewing was held on Monday, Feb. 4, 2008 at Birchwood Funeral Chapel. The funeral service was held Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008 at 2 p.m. at the Steinbach Mennonite Church on 345 Loewen Blvd. Interment at Heritage Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gideons or to MCC. Arrangements by Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB.
