A special thank-you also to her extended family at Kingsford House and Helen the cook who supplied her with her special soups. A cluster of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears, Wishing God has spared you But for a few more years. Thanks for the years you gave us And for the happy times we shared, We only pray that when you left us You knew how much we cared. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, Our chain will link again. Klassen Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements, 338-0331.
