FATHER Who worked so hard and saved so long For what we have today; And anytime would sacrifice, His chance to rest or play. Who always saw his children have, The things he did without; And gave so much, unselfishly For that's what love's about. Who sought no honours, no rewards, For all that he had done; Except to raise a family, The very finest one. Though we cannot evaluate Our Dad, his love, his worth. To us he'll always be Just Dad: the greatest guy on earth. Love Anne, Nadine, Ed, Carol, Diane, and Family. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, January 11 in Cowan, MB with interment to follow. Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN LAWN FUNERAL HOME 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. 982-7550
