Wojcik's Funeral Chapels & Crematoriums, 2157 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg 204.897.4665 www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm 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 day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savoured 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. www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com

Jean has been on my mind for quite sometime. So I did a quick search and am sad to learn of her passing. But so happy to see she had grandchild that I am sure filled and enriched her life. Many years ago. Around 1998, when I was a hairdresser, her and Michael were my regular clients. I always enjoyed seeing them both and visiting with them. They always were up to some kind of interesting activity to fill their time. I still have a have a recipe for zucchini bread she shared with me. Rest in peace Jean, thanks for always making me smile. My deepest condolences to the family and all her friends - Posted by: Lindsay Peterson (Previous hairdresser ) on: Jan 02, 2023
