JUVENAL VIEIRA After a short battle with leukemia, with deep sadness we announce the passing of Juvenal Vieira on August 5, 2007. He was predeceased by his wife Maria in 2001. He leaves to mourn two children, Richard and Susan (Joshua) Zielinski; grandchildren, Julianne and Mya; his brother José (Elieta) and three sisters, Zelia (Alfredo), Adriana (Fernando) and Gabriela (José) and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Juvenal was born March 13, 1947 in Sao Rogue, Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal and immigrated to Canada in 1973 to begin a new life with his wife Maria. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, his greatest joy was spending time with his family. Throughout his illness he always had a positive attitude and never gave up fighting. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at CancerCare Manitoba as well as the GD 6 Ward of the Health Sciences Centre.
