Your gentle face and radiant smile with sadness we recall You had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true. Bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not forgotten loved one, nor will you ever be, As long as life and memory last, we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by, well miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can take your vacant place. We love you Mom Rest in Peace Arrangements Entrusted to: VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 220 Hespeler Ave. 668-3151
