You faced your task with courage, Your spirit did not bend, But still you kept on fighting Until the very end. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered, "Come with Me". So when we saw you sleeping So peacefully free from pain We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. Klassen Funeral Home in care of arrangements, 338-0331.
