SINCLAIR--Bryden Walter Sinclair, April 3, 1973 - May 12, 2005. Bear Clan, Berens River FN, Manitoba.
It's been a year since you've been gone. You've left your name and children to carry on. I never pictured every minute without you in it. You left so fast. Sometimes I can see you standing there or feel an Angel's touch and know you're there. Your funny way and handsome smile - your cute chin and your sparkling eyes. Always missed, but never far. For in memory, spirit and heart you always live. You were such a kind, funny and loving man - always willing to lend a helping hand. You did your best and were loyal too. You hung on when things were rough - though to some that was never enough. You loved to fish, drive trucks and hoped to be a linesman and fly planes too.
Well, I guess you've earned your eagle wings and I'll always pray to be with you someday. In a place where we can love, where no one will even give a shrug. You've gone into the Creator's world where there is only kindness, love and acceptance too - for only the best is what you deserve. This little script I write today, is to give love and honour to who you were. It gives a glimpse into the dash between your DOB and passing date. People knew you as "chin", "Mr. Bean," and "Rabbit" too. You were a loving partner and father.
A hard-working man with good old-fashioned values. You are sadly missed. Left behind are sons Darion, Alistair & Richard with Karen. Sons Daniel and Bryden II born October 2, 2005. Stepson Neeganie and fiancè Michelle. Love, your girl, "Roadblocker". Always, Michelle.

SINCLAIR--In loving memory of Bryden W. Sinclair April 3, 1973 - May 12, 2005.
I walk the road without you,
Instead of side by side,
But to all there comes a moment,
When the ways of life divide.
You gave me years of happiness,
Then came sorrow and tears,
But you left me beautiful memories,
I will treasure through the years.
Love, fiancée Michelle and your sons Daniel and Bryden.
Always.

SINOSKI--In memory of Norma L., who passed away too soon on January 31, 1997.
Those whom we love go out of sight,
But never out of mind.
They are cherished in the hearts
Of those they leave behind.
Loving and kind in all her ways,
Upright and just in all her days.
Sincere and true in heart and mind,
Beautiful memories she left behind.
--Lovingly remembered by husband Mervin; mother, Johanah “Leach” Rush; daughters Tracey, and Janice; grandchildren Brennan, Kailey, Emily, Katie and James.
“You are missed greatly.”

SIZE--In loving memory of Ann Size, who passed away July 30, 2003. Son-in-law Kerry Size, Sept. 30, 2000.
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break but all in vain,
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
Time may wipe out many things
But this they'll wipe out never,
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together.
Always remembered by Walter McDonald.

We do not forget, nor do we intend
We think of you often, will to the end;
Forgotten by some you may be,
In our memory you will ever be.

As time goes on without you
And days turn into years,
They hold a million memories
And a thousand silent tears.

What more is there to say,
Except to wish with all our hearts
That you were here today.

SLOSS, Alberta--In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother Alberta Sloss, who passed away October 9, 2003.
Look around your garden, Lord,
She won't be hard to find,
She has a face that's full of love,
And a heart that's good and kind,
Tell her we love her,
And when she turns and smiles,
Put your arms around her, Lord,
And hold her for awhile,
We talk about her often,
We think about her still,
She hasn't been forgotten, Lord,
And never, ever will.
Lovingly remembered by Ken and family.

SLOSS, IRENE and NOON, KIRSTIN--In loving memory of my dear wife and mother and my granddaughter who passed away March 14, 2003.
The month comes back
With deep regret
It brings a day we
Never forget.
She went away without saying good-bye
But our memories of her will never die.
No one knows the grief we bear when the family
Meets and she's not there.
The tears we shed will wipe away
But the ache in our hearts will always stay.
She left us so suddenly
Her thoughts unknown
But she left us with memories we are
Proud to own.
Forever remembered by Marvin and Family

SLOSS--In loving memory of a dear Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, Verdun Sloss, who passed away December 9, 2006.
God saw you getting weary
So he done what he thought best
He came and stood beside you
and whispered come and rest
You bade no one a last farewell
Nor even said good-bye
You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
Sadly missed by Bernice, Marie, Ken & Sally & Family
