So grieve for me a while if you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It's only for awhile that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart, I won't be far away, for life goes on; So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All of my love around you soft and clear, And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say Welcome home . The family wishes to thank the kind, compassionate, loving and caring staff on the third floor at Beacon Hill Lodge. May God richly bless and reward all your efforts. We will miss you all. Funeral service will be held on Friday, December 29 at 2:00 p.m. at Klassen Funeral Home. Cremation will follow the service.
