THE FAMILY OF EARL HELLEKSON wishes to extend sincere thanks for the many acts of kindness and the many prayers and expressions of sympathy on the loss of our beloved husband, father and grandfather. Thank you for the memorial donations, flowers, food and hugs during our very sad time. We would like to send our sincere appreciation to Dr. Slabbert and nursing staff in St. Mary’s Hospital Palliative Care Unit for the wonderful care Earl received. Thanks also to Dr. A. Niemann of the Daysland Care Centre and staff who cared for Earl in his earlier stages of cancer, before he entered Palliative Care in Camrose. We also would like to thank Jerry’s Pharmacy and staff for your kindness given to Earl after each and every appointment. We are truly grateful for each and every one who helped with Earl’s care. Thanks also to pianists Elissa Hellekson and Angela Fischer and to guitarist Richard Stang for the music. Thanks to Rev. Bill Harder for officiating at the service and for the beautiful song he sang. Thanks also to our son Brent and the four grandsons who lit the candles and to our granddaughter Rebecca and our daughter-in-law Cheryl for reading scripture. Many thanks also to Country Catering for the lovely lunch and to Burgar Funeral Home for their caring and compassion. – Sincerely, Bonnie Hellekson, Brian (Cheryl), Bonnie Jane (Darcy) Tranmer and Brent (Elissa) and grandchildren
ANNOUNCEMENTS
PERSONAL
Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations
Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price
The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.
