“Supposing today were your last day on earth,
The last mile of the journey you’ve trod;
After all of your struggles, how much are you worth?
How much can you take home to God?
The love, joy, unselfishness, kindness, honesty and integrity of the soul goes back with us after death.”

The Funeral Service was held at St. Theodore’s Anglican Church, 5120 - 44 Avenue, Taber on Wednesday, January 6, 1999 at 1:00 P.M. with Reverend Dale Lang officiating. Interment followed at the Taber Memorial Garden.
