ALBERT SCHUMANN On October 8, 2000, Albert Schumann, age 81, passed away peacefully at home in his sleep. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Maria; children Elli (Waldemar), Brigitte (Garry), Robert (Victoria), Heidi (Pat), Ursel; grandchildren Alexander (Erica), Lilli (Harry), Carlene (Les), Elijah, Bhavani, Jared, Audrey; and ten great-grandchildren. Dad and mom came to Winnipeg from Germany in 1952. After driving his own gravel truck for 12 years, he went to work for the Canadian Pacific Railway, from which he retired in 1984. During his retirement he loved working on his yard and garden, and thus in his final days, he was busy raking up the autumn leaves and sweeping the driveway as usual. Funeral services for Dad will be held on Thursday, October 12, 2000 at 2 p.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel (391 Main Street), Stonewall. Pastor Henry Ozirney will officiate. "Rest in Peace" Dad, from your loving family. God looked upon his garden and found an empty space, Then He looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest, Gods garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, He closed your weary eyes and Whispered "Peace be Thine" It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you To Gods garden, your new home. Your presence we miss Your memory we treasure Loving you always Forgetting you never In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall, in care of arrangments.
