Lillian passed away in Winnipeg, on Thursday, August 19, 2004 with her family at her side. She was predeceased by her husband Bertrum (1977) and leaves to mourn her five children, Gay Anne, Bradley, Kelly (Leah), Cory, and Blair (Sandy); seven grandchildren, Todd, Lindsey, Shea, Kyle, Tyler, Trenton and Brett; beloved brother George Dinney (Nina) of Denver; sister-in-law Marge Dinney; as well as many nieces and nephews. Lillian retired in 1985 after 21 years of service for the Winnipeg Police Department, Training Division. She had two very special longtime friends in the Police Department, Don Wardrop and Lawrence Klippenstein who were there for her after her husband's death and for many years that followed. She was fondly known as "Inspector Fright" and developed many lasting friendships in the Police Department, one's that she treasured deeply. We tend to place value on the lives of those who have built great wealth or celebrity rather than the significant contributions of our world by ordinary people. Lillian was a ordinary person who led an extraordinary life. Wealth and celebrity she had none. Kindness, courage, hope, and most of all love are words that best describe the spirit of Lillian. Her greatest accomplishment was to raise her five children on her own after the early passing of her husband. She provided her children with the values of honesty, trust and compassion that have taken them from childhood to mature adult. Over the past many years Lillian was plagued with many chronic illnesses that had taken their toll on her health. At the end of her life she had no complaints or regrets but only thankfulness for her life's experience. She was never ordinary; to her family and friends she was always extraordinary and valued. Death is a passage at a point in time. It passes but memory lasts forever. We are left with wonderful memories and photos of a woman who was intelligent, funny, caring, dedicated to her family, strong, hard working and unselfish. In accordance with Lillian's wishes, cremation has taken place. Memorial service will take place on Tuesday, August 24 at 1:00 p.m. in the chapel of Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St. Honourary pallbearers will be her seven grandchildren. In lieu of flowers those wishing to remember Lillian can make a contribution to a charity of choice. "We will love you forever."

Sue leaves to mourn and to celebrate her life, her beloved husband Bill; sons, Derek (nine) and Brock (seven); her mother Carol Horley; brothers, Rob (Lois) Horley, Will (Melaine) Horley and Peter Horley. Also her parents-in-law Wilma and Bill Harrison; sisters-in-law, Susan Harrison, Gail Harrison and Tanis (Grant) Kydd; brother-in-law David (Jennifer) Harrison and grandmother Marion Day (Illinois, USA), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. Susan was predeceased by her Dad, Robert W. Horley, in November 2003. Susan was born May 28, 1965, in Kenora, ON. She was brought up in the town of Sioux Narrows, ON and on the family island at the Lake of the Woods. Her schooling took place in Sioux Narrows, Kenora, and the University of Manitoba where she earned her degree in Human Ecology with a minor in Commerce (1989). Susan also completed her degree in Adult Education through St. Francis Xavier (2002). Sue and Bill met in Sioux Narrows in the summer of 1985 and were married in December 1986. They settled in Kenora, for a few years and then moved to Winnipeg to complete their university. Sue worked for Manitoba Housing (Winnipeg, 1988 to 1990), Committee for Skill Development and Human Resources Canada (Kenora 1991 to 1997) and for the Manitoba Department of Education as a training co-coordinator and creator of training opportunities (Winnipeg 1997 to 2004). Sue loved her career and all the people she worked with. Sue always wanted to help people do better and was an inspiration to many over the years. Sue's greatest joys involved her family. She was a great supporter of her boys and was always encouraging, loving and proud of everything they did. She supported her husband Bill in all his business endeavours (A&W;), she loved being involved with Derek and Brock in school, sports, travelling, fishing and during family time, especially at the family cottages (Coney Island and the Sanctuary Resort) on Lake of the Woods. Our happiest memories are of the love and the companionship we shared with each other and our boys, families, relatives, friends, neighbours and co-workers. We have been blessed to have so many special people in our lives. Sue's laughter, her love, her fighting spirit, and her infectious positive attitude will never be forgotten. Sue was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2002. After the initial shock, she became determined that we would all relate to her with love and happiness, not with sadness. She fought as hard as she could, wanting to be as much a part of life as possible. Sue faced her illness with strength, courage, determination and bravery, determined she would win. Sue never quit making sure she did everything she could to try to get things back to normal. Sue will be our hero and inspiration in the days and years to come. Special thanks to CancerCare Manitoba and all the people in all the medical communities that we encountered, especially the staffs at the oncology departments under CancerCare Manitoba, at St. Boniface General Hospital and the Lake of the Woods District Hospital. Very special thanks to Dave, my brother and business partner, who gave Sue and I the time together we needed to fight the war against cancer. A remembrance service and celebration of Sue's life will be held at the Charleswood United Church on Monday, August 23, at 10:00 a.m., with a light reception to follow at Vasa Lund Park, 5429 Roblin Blvd. In the afternoon, Sue will make her final journey to the Lake of the Woods to rest in peace. Graveside services will be held at the Lake of the Woods Cemetery at 3:30 p.m. Those wishing to attend either or both are welcome to share in the joy and the love that we all have for Sue. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Susan's memory may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, Breast Cancer Centre of Hope, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R2E 0V9, to CIBC Run for the Cure, The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, in care of Ms. Sandy Walker, 895 Empress St., Winnipeg, MB R3G 3P8 or to Charleswood United Church Memorial Fund, 4820 Roblin Blvd., Winnipeg, MB R3R 0G6.
