Tomorrow the stars will shine, on a lonely silent grave Where sleeps in dreamy slumber, one we loved but could not save God give us the strength to meet the pain, the courage to bear the blow For what it meant to lose you Mom/Baba no one will ever know A "Heart of Gold" stopped beating, hard working hands are at rest God broke our heart to prove He only takes the best What we will give, if we could say, "Well go and see our Mom and Baba today". To hear her voice and see her smile, sit and talk with her awhile What we have lost and God has gained, the best of Mom/Babas the world contained When we are sad and lonely and everything seems wrong Well seem to hear her whisper, "Cheer up and carry on". And when we see your picture, youll smile and seem to say "Don't cry, I'm only sleeping, well meet again some day". As Mom loved children, in lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully accepted to a childrens charity of your choice, especially Childrens Hospital Foundation, CE501 - 840 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3A 1S1. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
