You have been a witness to many while on earth, And youve shared the story about the miracle birth. You never hid the fact that you loved me, You shared the word no matter what the need be. You spoke of me often to family and friends, And you showed how faith can strengthen and often mend. You did your best to always give glory to me, And for this you will live eternally. And now the time has come for you to rest, Im taking you home as my special guest. Welcome home, my child, my son, Your work on earth has been well done. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing." 2 Timothy 4: 7-8 Arrangements Entrusted To: ANDERSON FAMILY FUNERAL HOME Ashern, Manitoba 1-204-768-3606
