I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when the day is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories I leave behind -when the day is done. Glen Eden Funeral Home 338-7111 www.gleneden-mb.ca
