HELENA OLIVIER Peacefully in her sleep, Helena passed away at the Victoria Hospital on December 14, 2010 at the age of 92. She was predeceased by her husband Pieter. Her memory will be forever cherished by her sons, Bruce and Brian (Judy). Mom was the youngest of 12 children and was the last surviving member of her family and she leaves a large extended family to remember her. At Mom's request, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm now following the path God laid for me, I took His hand when I heard Him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, A loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now. He set me free! Chapel Lawn 885-9715
