EDWARD KORNAGO Peacefully, on Friday, April 5, 2013, Edward Kornago, aged 78, passed away at the St. Boniface General Hospital with family by his side.

Also mourning his passing are sister Eleanor (Leonard); sisters-in-law Irene and Sharon; nieces and nephews, Ron, Darlene, Terry, Trevor, Carl, Curtis, and Clifford; and several relatives and friends.

Many thanks for the extra care from the medical staff, especially Dr. Kowaluk, and nurses Jocelyne and Amanda. Special thanks to Father Jorge Villegas for his friendship and assistance during this difficult time; and Tina Chubaty for her companionship and support.
