In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away; You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay. 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 would not wish to back, To suffer that again. Whites Funeral Home, Neepawa, in care of arrangements.
