When the time came We suffered too. You never deserved what you went through. God took your hand We had to part. He eased your pain But broke our hearts. If you could have spoken Before you died, these words Were sure youd have replied!! This life for me has surely passed. I loved you all to the very last. Weep not for me, but courage take And love each other for my sake. Transcona Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements.
