You were always there when we needed you
No task too great or small
With a loving heart and a willing hand
For us you did it all
Thank you for the years you've given us
And for the time we shared
We only pray that when you left us
You knew how much we cared.
Special thanks to Ralph, Sheila, Lisa, Sean, Cyril, Mark, Joe, Janet, Shirley, Rosanna. Very special thanks to CancerCare and Homecare nurses, especially Dastin, Darryl and Pam.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to CancerCare Manitoba or the Parkinson's Society.
Memorial will be held at Glen Eden, 4477 Main Street, West St. Paul on Thursday, October 25 at 2:00 p.m.
