Don’t think of her as gone away, her journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one,
Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years,
Think how she must be wishing, that we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness, can really pass away,
And think of her as living, in the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much.

Funeral service 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 2, 2023 at Christ Church, Port Rexton with interment to follow at the Anglican Cemetery, Port Rexton.

    To Rick, Gregg, Treena & families: I am deeply saddened by the news of your dear Mother’s/Grandmother’s passing. She was a dear friend. She had a heart of gold. Her words were softly spoken and her service to God and her church were forefront in her mind and actions. She always remembered the sick and shut ins and offered up prayers as well for them. I offer my sincerest condolences to you all. Rest in Peace dear friend, your work on earth is finished and you are now rejoined with your dear husband, Frank.

    In thanksgiving for the life and legacy of Lily. She was genuine, gentle and generous, warm and welcoming. Lily was a faithful servant of her Lord who participated fully in the life of the Church and beyond. I met her in 1969 and have kept in touch since. May Lily rest in peace and rise in glory.
