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 to Me." Thanks for all the years you gave us, And for the times we shared, We only pray that when you left us, You know how much we all cared. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk, in care of arrangements.
