AFTERGLOW Id like the memory of me to be a happy one, Id like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. Id like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and bright and sunny days. Id like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun, Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. Funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 1 at Desjardins Funeral Chapel, 357 DesMeurons St. In care of arrangements: DESJARDINS FUNERAL CHAPEL 233-4949 or toll free 1-888-233-4949
