Should friends so desire, donations made in memory of Helene to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
God saw you were getting tired
When a cure was not to be,
So He closed His arms around you
And whispered “Come with Me”.
In tears we saw you sinking
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken
You fought to hard to stay.
What you suffered you told so few,
You did not deserve what you went through.
So He took you in His arms
And laid you down to rest,
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
And when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain,
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Love You Forever. Your Family
