She will be laid to rest with her husband Norman in the Lac du Bonnet cemetery. Dont grieve for me, from pain Im free, Im following the path God has laid, you see. I took His hand when I heard His call I turned around and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace on a sunny day, If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A family shared, a laugh, a kiss. O yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow, My lifes been full, Ive savoured much, Good family, good times, a loved ones touch, Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Dont lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee, God wanted me now; From pain Im free. "All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose."
