GEORGINA IRENE ORMISTON (nee GUEST) November 10, 1944 - August 27, 2004 On Friday, August 27, 2004, Gina Ormiston past away at the age of 59 years. She died at home with family and loved ones always near. Gina's strength and courage throughout a short battle with cancer never faltered. A daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and artist, Gina was constantly creating, giving and sharing her love. Her talents were undeniable and she always gave to others selflessly. She cherished the time she spent with family and friends at gatherings and at the cottage. Gardening and decorating were among her many passions. Gina leaves behind husband Rob, sons Chris and Mike Mason, parents George and Irene Guest, sister Alice, four step daughters Sarah, Andrea, Kendra and Christine, two beautiful daughters-in-law Paulette and Trish, precious grand daughters Kya and Ali and another grandchild on the way. I want to thank Mike and Chris who couldn't possibly have been more supportive to me and better sons to their mother. Thanks to Andrea for all her help with driving, shopping and for getting up every morning at 6:00 a.m. to keep watch. Thanks to two very special friends Dave and Kathy who were there from the beginning to offer help, and Alice for bringing Mom and Dad over. Thanks to friends, neighbors Dorothy and Carol and all the wonderful home care workers especially Thor and Pricilla for their kindness, compassion and generosity to both Gina and our family. I love Gina more today than ever before. Now I see clearer how much I've lost. Her wisdom, her strength, and her beautiful smile will live within me forever. Life is very precious and I'm ever thankful I was able to share nine years of them with Gina but so very sad it's over. Rob. A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, August 31, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. at Fort Garry United Church, 800 Point Road. Gina will be remembered forever, with love.

THADDAUES PARKER
THADDAUES (TED) PARKER We deeply mourn the passing of our dear Ted on Sunday, June 20, 2004. He was predeceased by his parents, Alexander and Magdelene Piasecki; sister Josephine (Josie) Korchak; and five year old daughter Patricia back in 1960. Left to honour his memory are his devoted wife and soulmate Helene; his brother John (Margaret); sister Stella Stephen; brother-in-law Bud Korchak; nieces and nephews, Mia Kinal, Tiana Korchak, Della Wheadon (Dale), Stacey-Jo Stephen, Ross Stephen (Cathy), Rodney Stephen, Terry Korchak (Jackie), Jon Piasecki (Linda); and friends. Accompanied by his mother and five year old brother, Ted emigrated from his birthplace, Poland, at the tender age of three to be re-united with his father in Canada. Ted attended Machray Elementary and received his high school diploma from St. John's Tech. He always nurtured a dream of becoming an architect but unfortunately this was not to be. However, in his chosen profession as a painter and decorator, his skill and honesty were well appreciated by many up until the time of his well-earned retirement. Vocation aside, Ted's heart was in his beloved artwork. His natural talent shone in his soft watercolour and pastels, sketches, oils and bold acrylics, beautiful works he so generously gave to family and friends. Ted was multi-talented, he could play the mandolin and violin with ease; his naturalistic landscaping was always a pleasure to behold; he was happy to oblige anyone in need of his prowess in carpentry. Ted's cavalier manner and sometimes feisty attitude belied his true nature - the soul of a romantic. His passion for the great masters in the arts was constant. Listening to classical music and reading was Ted's preferred choice of recreation. The intricate handwork and charm of old world structures appealed to Ted's discriminating taste. He believed in the preservation of such national treasures. Heritage and culture counted with Ted. To escape the confines of the city Ted often sought the solitude and peace of the wilderness. Ted truly believed in nature unspoiled. He never forgot to feed his feathered friends, especially when the harsh realities of winter set in. City birds feasted as well. A man of social conscience, Ted championed many worthwhile causes. The basic rights, freedoms and political justice for all reigned supreme with Ted. He was an active participant towards achieving that end. Any violation of that trust was indeed a "Crime against Humanity." This was the Ted we knew and loved. He left his marks in life and we are grateful for it. Ted received redemption with the blessing of Jesus Christ's Divine Love. This joyous experience enabled him to cope with his illness and find inner peace. We bid our Ted a final farewell. We dearly miss him but take some comfort in knowing that he suffers no more, his soul is with God. A family service was held at Brookside Cemetery on June 25, 2004 with Pastor Todd Petkau of Riverwood Church Community officiating and Ted's brother John contributing with a reading from the Book of Revelations.

He has given us strength to pursue our ambitions and become the people we wished to be. Our promise to our father is to continue to build on his legacy and the values he instilled in us.
