"We love you and will greatly miss you, but we will see you again in heaven with our Saviour". Psalm 62: 5-8 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. KLASSEN Funeral Chapel 1897 Henderson-North of McIvor-338-0331
