Deacon Leon Twerdun. Interment to follow at the Parish Cemetery. Softly in the morning hours Came a gentle Voice "Come Home." No one heard it softly whisper, But we knew that it had come. Gently in the "arms of Jesus," Softly to that "Place of rest" Angels came and carried mother To that "Haven of the Blest" Dearest mother, you have left us, We will miss your loving ways But your patience, faith and courage Well remember all our days. We will try, oh loving mother, Just to do as you have asked, Then well meet with you in Heaven, Safe in Jesus arms at last. Vichnaya Pamyat Rest In Peace. Arrangements entrusted to Loewen Funeral Chapel of Steinbach. 204-326-1351.
