(ELIZABETH) ADELE HEELIS (nee MEISNER) Peacefully following a brief illness, it is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of our wife, mother and Nan, known to all as Adele aged 79, at the Victoria General Hospital on March 17, 2005. Adele will be lovingly remembered by her surviving family, husband Stanley; daughter Susan; son Timothy; and daughter-in-law Marisa; grandchildren, Melanie Winkler (James), Shawna Unrau (Cameron) and Samantha Heelis; great-grandchildren, Carson and Cole Winkler, Owen and Erik Unrau; and Adele's sister Rosemary Murray. She was predeceased by her mother Mary Ann Lucie Meisner (nee Martin) and her father John Christopher Meisner. Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, March 22 at 10:00 in Thomson In the Park Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray, to be followed by a luncheon reception. Private family interment. If friends so desire, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6. Additionally, the family would like to extend heartfelt appreciation to the doctors and staff of Victoria General Hospital, for their kindness and compassionate caring, qualities that also abundantly resided within our mother. Her life will be celebrated by many next Tuesday morning, but for all who knew her, the celebration of her goodness will be everlasting. The following is her wish for those who remain. To Those I Love and Those Who Loved Me When I am gone, release me, let me go... I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears; Be happy that we had so many years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I travelled on alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must; Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on; So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say, Welcome home. THOMSON IN THE PARK FUNERAL HOME AND CEMETERY 1291 McGillivray Blvd. - 925-1120
