HELEN BOYCHUK It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, Helen Boychuk at the age of 73 years. She died peacefully on September 6, 2000 at Riverview Health Centre surrounded by those who loved her. Mom was devoted to her family, always there to help whenever and wherever she was needed. She and dad spent countless hours babysitting their precious grandchildren. She always had the welcome mat out and fresh chocolate chip cookies in the cupboard. She is survived by her daughter Betty Bender (Ric) daughter-in-law Janet Boychuk; sister Jean Kuryk (Walter) niece Claudia Serray (Andrew) grandchildren, Bonni-Anne Little (Michael), Travis, Jay and Samantha. She will be especially missed by great-grandson Benjamin Little who loved to come for "Gramma kisses". She is also survived by several nieces and nephews who all held a special place in her heart. She was predeceased by her parents, Nicolas and Annie Zaniewich; her beloved husband J.B. in 1993 and her treasured son Bob in December, 1999. "I know in my bones that the love we give and receive is all that matters and all that is remembered. Suffering disappears - love remains" "Rest in peace darling Mother" A memorial service will be held on Monday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m. at Sturgeon Creek United Church, 207 Thompson Dr., Rev.
