There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now all is gone. Put now these things out of your thoughts, In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife. Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website. www.chapellawn.ca 885-9715

I was sorry to hear of Sandys passing. My condolences to her family. Although I haven't seen Sandy since the Bishoff reunion, I often think of the fun we all had at Granpa and Grandma Bishoff's farm. The weiner roasts, fireworks, playing hide and seek late at night. Lots of great memories. Rest in peace cousin - Posted by: Doreen johnson (Cousin) on: Sep 13, 2014
