Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Lee and Dr. Buehner and the staff of the Sault Area Hospital for making his final days as comfortable as possible. www.northwoodfuneral.comWe had so little time from the day you took ill,
It seemed like our lives fell silent and still.
But far from quiet was your discomfort and pain,
Today you sighed in peace, you found comfort again.
In the hands of our Lord, you were carried away,
But in our fondest memories and hearts, you will always stay.
