A Soldier’s Prayer
The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass...
He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't...
Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough.
But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here...
They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod...
As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,
"Step forward now you soldier,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

LASTUKA, MARGARET WATSON BLACKLOCK GOGAN
1916-2010
MARGARET LASTUKA born January 3, 1916 to Mary and Jacques Gogan, passed away Thursday, February 4, 2010.

Margaret was predeceased by her parents, two sisters and one brother. She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Fred Lastuka, her sons Jim (Doris), Brian (Pamela) and Rick (Christa). She is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Margaret’s great passion was her family and she was so very proud of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Margaret’s second passion was her garden and as soon as spring began you would usually find her with dirt on her knees and on her hands as she tended her flowers. She was a member of the Lethbridge Horticultural Society and a long standing member of the Kinette Club. For many years Margaret and her husband Fred enjoyed spending the Canadian winters in Hemet, California. She and Fred also loved taking cross country bus tours and cruises. When they got too old for travelling they loved nothing better than going for a long drive in the countryside. Margaret loved to cook, can, pickle and bake. Anytime a person visited, they were usually sent home with canned preserves, her famous pickles, or baked goods.

Margaret was a loving wife, mother, grandmother but most of all she was a friend. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, but she will never be forgotten.

Cremation with a private interment at a later date.

The time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you
I loved you so
'twas Heaven here with you.

MRS. MARY LYNN LAMBERT (“LYNN”)
1943-2009
MRS. MARY “LYNN” LAMBERT beloved wife of Mr. Ray Lambert of Lethbridge, AB. passed away at the St. Michael’s Health Centre on Saturday, December 26, 2009 at the age of 66 years.

Lynn was the loving mother of Ron (Val) Lambert and Bob (Joanne) Lambert both of Lethbridge.

Besides her loving husband and children, Lynn leaves to mourn and cherish her memory her precious grandchildren, Cynthia and Rob Lambert of Lethbridge; her brother, Jim Burroughs (Cheri) of Bakersfield, California; her sisters-in-law, Helene (Peter) Davey of Nanaimo, B.C. and Lucille Maloney of Peachland, B.C. as well as several nieces and nephews.

Lynn was predeceased by her niece, Nancy Jobling; her parents, Kathleen and Robert (Bob) Burroughs; her sister Barbara Jean Ferris; her parents-in-law, Jeanne and Roland Lambert; and her brother-in-law, Joe Maloney; as well as her grandparents and several aunts and uncles.

Lynn was fondly remembered for breaking the two-minute silence when she was born in Vulcan, AB. on November 11, 1943. She was raised and educated in Swift Current, Sask. and was an alumni of Swift Current Collegiate Institute, Lethbridge College of Nursing, 1976, and the Grant MacEwan Occupational Health Nursing Certification Program, 1987. Throughout her education, Lynn held several leadership roles and also earned many academic awards.

Lynn met her life partner, Ray, in Swift Current during the summer of 1960 and they were wed three years later in Yellowknife, N.W.T. where their eldest son, Ron, was born in 1965. They moved to Swift Current in 1966, and in 1967 their second son, Bob was born. When the children began school, Lynn chose to pursue her nursing ambitions and attended both the Medicine Hat and the Lethbridge Community Colleges of Nursing, graduating with honours. She began her speciality of Occupational Health Nursing with Catelli, Inc. in Lethbridge and also continued in this profession with A.G.T. (working in both Lethbridge and Medicine Hat) where she achieved her Canadian Occupational Health Nursing Certification. Lynn truly loved both her work and the people she served, and was most fortunate to meet many wonderful and lasting friends throughout her career. Prior to retiring in 2002, Lynn held the position of Employee Health Co-ordinator for the Chinook Health Authority. Lynn was actively involved in various executive positions for both the local and provincial bodies of the Alberta Occupational Health Nursing Association. She was also involved in past participation as a member of the Board of Directors for the M.S. Society.

After retirement, Lynn and Ray pursued their love of travel, and after several trips to Arizona, purchased their own little haven in Yuma, Arizona. During their travels, they both fell in love with Hawaii, and thoroughly enjoyed their tri-continental cruise to Europe.

Among her many interests, Lynn loved to play the piano, having been taught by her mother when she was just a young girl. She and Cynthia spent many happy times together playing their beloved duets. Not only did Lynn play for enjoyment, but she also found her music a great comfort to her during difficult times. Along with her husband, Lynn was a member of the Lethbridge Golf and Country Club, and spent many wonderful hours golfing there with her family and friends. Lynn’s favourite and most meaningful times were those she spent with her family, particularly the time she spent with her grandchildren on their special Monday nights together, and the family gatherings with her sons who revelled in coming up with new and unique “pet names” for her – Perkins, Benjie, Banana, Grasshopper, etc. Lynn was a loving and caring individual who will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

A Prayer Service will be held at OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2405 – 12th Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB. on Sunday, January 3, 2010 at 7:00 P.M.

A Funeral Mass to celebrate Lynn’s life will be held at the All Saints’ Parish Roman Catholic Church at OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH on Monday, January 4, 2010 at 1:00 P.M. with Reverend Tim Boyle celebrant. Interment to follow the service at the Mountain View Cemetery.

Flowers are gratefully declined. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Lethbridge Cancer Society, 317-10th Street South, Lethbridge, AB., T1J 2M7, or to St. Michael's Foundation, Palliative Care Unit, 1400 - 9th Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB.
