Thank you also to all those who have sent flowers, cards and phone calls. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba or to Hospice and Palliative Care Manitoba. 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 peaceful, free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. "WE LOVE YOU MOM YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US" Arrangements entrusted to: CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME CEMETERY AND CREMATORIUM 885-9715
