SHIRLEY KOLENCH (nee SOKALUK) September 26, 1951 - September 1, 2012 She was taken without any warning, Her going left hearts filled with pain; But though she is gone from amongst us, In our hearts she will always remain. Nothing can ever take away, The love a heart holds dear, Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps her near. Please God, forgive a silent tear; A constant wish that she was here; Others were taken, yes I know; But she was ours and we loved her so. Many a day her name is spoken, And many an hour she is in our thoughts, A link in our family chain is broken, She has gone from our home, But not from our hearts. Lovingly remembered and so sadly missed by Eugene. Although you're gone, we're not alone, And never shall we be, For the precious memories of the bond we shared, Will never depart from me. Our love surpassed the ups and downs, And helped us along the way, And that same love will give us strength, To manage this loss each day. On our mind and in our hearts, Mom, Baba, you shall forever be, For just as much as I am a part of you, You are a part of me! Love Dean, Kelsey, Jacob and Lillyann. Vichnaya Pamyat
