Heaven

Imagine stepping onto a shore and finding it Heaven.

Imagine taking hold of a hand and finding its God’s hand.

Imagine breathing new air and finding it celestial air.

Imagine feeling invigorated and finding it immortality.

Imagine passing from storm and tempest to an unknown calm.

Imagine waking and finding it home.

A Memorial Service to honour Betty’s life will be held on Friday, August 9th at 11:00 am at the Yates Funeral Chapel, 1000 Allsbrook Road in Parksville.
