In lieu of flowers, at the request of the family, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot St., Winnipeg, MB. How can I tell you, Mother, Of the love I hold for you, For devotion that you gave so freely, And love that has always been true? Through the tender and innocent childhood, Though the trials and tests seemed so long, You were there through the sunshine and shadows, Lifting up or rejoicing in song. When the darkness came down like a torrent, There was hope shining still in your eyes, When I came upon some small honour, Your joy made it seem your own prize. If the Lord set before me a legion, Of wonderful mothers to choose, My eyes would search frantically through them, For Mother, my choice would be you! Our hope in still in your saviour, Our guide is the same that led you Eternity...Faith! We believe it! Will find us in Heaven with you! Rest in peace dear Mother, All our love...your family.
