Arrangements were entrusted to PIERCY’S FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM of Courtenay, B.C. A special poem written by granddaughter Sarah as an expression of how many of us feel:
Love & Death
At times life is weak and you
just can’t fight anymore.
I see a figure in my mind,
a sliver outline, how I feel
the pain of seeing you fade
right in front of my eyes.
I think to myself you may fade
away, but I won’t say
good-bye,
Through these eyes of tears
so instead I’ll have to be strong and say,
“see ya soon”,
Because death can’t break
our bond, our friendship,
our love or the amazing family that you have created.
I love you always and forever.
Love Sarah
