James was born in Montreal, Quebec on May 7, 1936. He was the youngest of six children. He married his sweetheart, Monique Roberge, who was from a little town in Northern Ontario. They were married 48 years ago on May 28, 1955. In those 48 years of marriage they had five children: Della (Jeff) Enns of Steinbach, Steve (Janine) Boulanger of Grand Pointe, Man., Annette (Andrew) Moline of Hannibal, Missouri, Cindy (Jim) Gunther of Steinbach, and Nathan (Karla) Boulanger of Steinbach; as well as nine grandchildren: Rachel (16), Stephanie (15), Amanda (11), Meghan (6), Terra (15 months), Max (3), Matthew (19 months), Nicole (6), and Ashley (2). Life hasn't always been easy for James, but he always tried to look on the bright side of things. You'd often hear him say, "There are so many people who are worse off than we are." He was a generous man who was always willing to help someone in need if he could. He had many different jobs in many different trades and was well respected by all who worked with and/or for him. He was a hardworking man and was never afraid of a hard day's work. He was a miner for many years in northern Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. A mining accident took much of his eyesight, which left him unable to work again. He was forced to retire at the young age of 42. He loved to be outdoors. You'd always see him outside puttering around the yard or just sitting at the picnic table watching the world go by. He loved his music and he passed on his love for music to his children. He loved nothing more than to hear his children sing. He loved his family and was often humored by his grandchildren. He loved nothing more than to see them happy. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on in those who loved him. The family would like to thank the nursing staff at the Bethesda Hospital for the excellent care they provided. The funeral service was held at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2003. Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Dr., Steinbach, Man. ALVIN REIMER Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2003, surrounded by the love of God and family, Alvin Reimer of Blumenort, Man. peacefully went home to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ with His Lord and Saviour at the age of 54. Left behind to cherish his memory are his wife Julianna; and children, Sheldon and Kim, Tim, Theresa; his grandchildren, Cassidy, Shayna, Caitlyn and Bradley. Waiting for Dad in heaven are his parents, Abraham and Marie Reimer, and one brother Ernie Reimer. Dad met Mom in 1967 and fell in love with her. They were married Oct. 9, 1970, and as the years went on they fell more and more in love with each other. As Mom was heard to say, "I married the groom at the wedding, but lived with the best man for the rest of his life." After Sheldon, Tim and Theresa came along that love only grew stronger and deeper. Dad was said to be, by his employers, one of the most dedicated employees one could have - he gave his all to the job. Dad loved to drive truck, as long as he could come home at night. During the past two years, as Dad fought his battle with cancer, he taught us all what bravery and courage were all about. Those of us who loved him and were with him the most, never heard a complaint or a grumble out of him. He took everything in his stride and always made sure that we were okay. The best blessing that we received during this time was watching Dad's relationship with God grow stronger every day. Dad's strength and courage came directly from God and Dad was always the first to give God all the credit. He was known to say "It's not my will or the doctors', but God's will alone." The loss of Dad will leave a huge void in our lives. The grandkids will miss playing hide and seek with Grandpa and we will all miss his love, laughter and advice. We want to thank Dr. Krahn and the rest of the staff at the Steinbach Chemo Centre for the wonderful care they took of our loved one, who in his times of weakness made his family so very strong. The funeral service for Alvin Reimer was held Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2 p.m., at the Ridgewood EMC, with viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment at the Ridgewood Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Dr., Steinbach, Man.

For the past number of years Tom had been attending the Martha Rempel Centre, formerly the Development Centre, ACL in Steinbach, Man. The Lord blessed Tommy with many special attributes ­ among them a unique stubbornness, a special form of loving, confident arrogance, a quaint sense of humor and an unconditional love for all. But his most special trait was his judgement of character. You could often watch Tommy observe others in their daily activities, their responses and actions towards one another and not only him. He would base his assessment on these many tiny details and not on a person's social status, religion, color, or race, totally without malice or prejudice. Being held in high esteem by Tommy had a very special significance to all those who knew him and valued his much sought after approval. Tom could often be seen being mildly amused at how others around him could make small problems in life so large as not possible to overcome, for he knew that with the Lord's help these problems were nothing, if but a minor inconvenience. He had a great interest in the activities of those around him and was often eager to participate. Through all his troubles, Tommy would never complain. Tom was predeceased by his parents, Russell and Georgina Gardner. He is survived by his sister Joanne Fasker of Ottawa, Ont.; brothers Stuart Gardner of Stony Creek and Robert Gardner of Winnipeg. He also leaves to cherish his memory, his foster parents, Kim and John Klassen; his very special foster brothers, Matthew, Jordan, Marcus, and Marcus' wife Cathy; foster grandmother Mary Klassen; special aunt Edith (Madge) Mager; and Marj Guenther (friend). He will also be dearly missed by his many friends. For all the love and support given to Tom and the Klassen family ­ the family would like to thank the staff at the Martha Rempel Centre and Retirement Program (ACL), Dr. Dennis Giesbrecht and the nurses at Bethesda Hospital, Larry Hirst (Bethesda Chaplain), Gordon Reimer (social worker), Robin Stefanyshyn (public trustee), and Edith Bezditny and Rudy Wauhkowen, for being there for Tom. A private graveside service was held at Gary Memorial Park in Winnipeg, July 4, at 1 p.m., with Larry Hirst officiating and Thomson Funeral Chapel in charge of arrangements. A memorial service will be held Friday, July 11, 4:30 p.m., at Bethesda Place (Personal Care Home), Steinbach, with Larry Hirst officiating. In Tommy's own words, "I'm fine" and we are sure he is. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Association for Community Living, Box 730, Steinbach, MB R0A 2A0.

Rosiana was born Oct. 26, 1922 to parents Ferdinand and Mary Stark. She was predeceased by her parents; son Garnet; brothers, William and Edward; and sister Violet. She is survived by daughters: Eleanor (Don) Snitka, Betty (Nils) Bordal, Pat (Gary) Kozun, Paulette (Hans) Barthel, and Jennifer Doan; sons: Warren Doan and Keith (Jo-Anne) Doan; grandchildren: Scott and Tessa Snitka, Sheldon (Alita) and Todd Bordal, Cameron Kozun, Reece (Correna), Conrad Barthel, Charles and Nadine Granger and Melissa, Brendan and Gavin Doan; great-grandchildren: Donovan Snitka, Bailey Love, Austin Bordal; brothers: Alvin (Betty), Elmer (Anne), and Harry (Shirley); sisters: Irene (Ron) Davey, Grace (Dennis) Patterson, Shirley (Dong) Grey; special aunt Adeline Michaluk; numerous nieces and nephews and many, many friends. Rose was born in Hochstadt, Man. She attended a country school and at an early age went to Winnipeg, Man. to seek employment. She married in 1944 and raised her family with strength and guidance until her last days. She was an extremely hard worker and demonstrated equality long before the Women's Lib movement. Rose enjoyed women's baseball in Giroux in her younger days, and later she took up curling, especially enjoying bonspiels. Family always came first with Rose and she always made sure that whatever she gave to one was equalled by something to another. She loved us all the same ­ lots. Until poor health slowed her down, she loved traveling across Canada, visiting her children and grandchildren. Last August was her last holiday, when she spent a week at Dauphin Beach celebrating sisterfest, a reunion of her five daughters. Rose was a life member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion in Steinbach, Man. The funeral service was held Saturday, July 5, 2003 at Birchwood Funeral Chapel.

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation." Simon married Helen Regehr August 9, 1936.
