In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, As you fought so hard to stay; But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free of pain, We could not wish you back To suffer that again. We Love you Mom And we will miss you deeply. Arrangements entrusted to: VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME CREMATORIUM 1531 Pembina Hwy. 284-7500
