In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. ON THE WINGS OF A PRAYER Just close your eyes and open your heart, And feel your worries and cares depart. Just yield yourself to the Father above, And let him hold you secure in his love. - Helen Steiner Rice
