ERWIN WEISS Peacefully, with his family at his side, Erwin passed away into the waiting arms of Jesus on June 11, 2004, after a lengthy illness. He will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 35 years Helen; his daughters, Emily (Jurgen), Chris (Rod) and his son Wesley; and especially his two precious granddaughters, Nicole and Stephanie. He also leaves to mourn his passing a large extended family and many friends. Erwin was born on January 15, 1939 in Poland. Along with his family, he immigrated to Canada in 1948 and resided first in St. Ouens, MB and then Winnipeg. He worked hard to create a good life for his family. He owned Logan Autobody and then eventually went to work for Manitoba Public Insurance for 22 and a half years. Family always came first though and his devotion to Helen, his children and grandchildren was amazing. He was kind, gentle and loved to laugh. We will miss his great sense of humour. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, June 17 at 11:00 a.m. at Immanuel Pentecostal Church, 955 Wilkes Ave., with viewing one hour prior to the service. Thank you to the staff at Deer Lodge Hospital 4East and Riverview Health Centre for their kind support and care. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to Home of the Good Shepherd Orphanage - Brazil, in care of Randy and Carla Redmann. Cheques payable to IPC, envelopes will be made available at the church. Im Free Dont grieve for me for now Im free. Im following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back 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 at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then all it with remembered joy. A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss, Ah 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, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Dont lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free. Rock Fontaine Funeral Director in care of arrangements. (204) 223-2576.
