KENNEDY - Warren Graham passed away peacefully at home December 24, 1997.
His grieving family - Gladys, Kathy (John Foden), Paula Lupin; and two
grandchildren, Payton and Jake - will miss his contagious humor. He was
predeceased by his father in 1955 and his mother in 1989. His greatest
pleasure was to make people laugh. Warren taught Senior and Junior High
School in Regina, Saskatchewan and Calgary, Alberta until 1987. He came

"When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me;
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free. Miss
me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low; Remember
the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey
that we all must take, And each must go alone; It's all a part of the
Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick
at heart, Go to the friends we know; And busy your sorrows in doing good
deeds, Miss me, but let me go" (12/28/97).
