The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation for the loving care given by the Holy Family Nursing Home, 3rd floor staff for the love and compassion in making our dear mother as comfortable as possible. We were blessed by the many visits by Fr. John Sianchuk and the thoughtfulness of the many prayers by the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate and the caring concerns of the staff members of Holy Family. Along the road you journey The path is shining bright And there before you stands Jesus With Daddy at his side. Open arms outstretching As He welcomes you to Him Hand in hand Jesus leads you Through the golden gates with Him. The Holy Mother sees you With your rosary in your hand And smiles as you pass her To where the angels stand. The heavenly gardens with all the angels Rejoice with you today. They sing songs so sweetly On this your glorious day. We know that youre in heaven With Daddy at your side And when you look down at us And see our tearful eyes Youll see the smile within us And will know our faith is strong. And one day well all be together And sing that joyful song. "With all our love"
