JOHN IWAN MARTYNIW July 3, 1925 September 18, 2005 In memory of our much loved father who is greatly missed and whose memory will be always cherished and never forgotten. I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has laid, you see. I took His hand when I heard His call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee. God wanted me now, He set me free. ---Author Unknown We will keep you in our hearts and share our memories with our children and grandchildren. Dad we will miss your cheerful face, ginger hair, twinkling bright blue eyes and your smile. We all love you Dad! . From your wife and all your children and our families. Vichnaya Pam'yat
