Dad,
The time has come to say farewell,
The end of your ride on life’s carousel.
We may not be ready to say good-bye,
But now’s your time to finally fly.
You fought the battle hard and long,
Surrounded by the love that kept you strong.
Sad to leave those you love behind,
Please know you’ll never be far from mind.
Although our hearts are broke and lost,
You’ll be remembered at all cost.
Know that everyone will be okay,
Until our hearts meet again someday.
With ticket in hand,
You’re ready to go.
Your final flight,
To your big show.

Diane and families,
Thinking of you during this sad time. Marv was such a character. I’ll miss his dry wit and humour!!
To the family,
My sincere condolences to all at this difficult time. Although it has been many years, I still remember him from my childhood days in Moose Jaw when (even when there was a group) he would try to make me smile. On those occasions as an adult, when I would go back to Moose Jaw and see him around town he was friendly and made me feel welcome once again. May your memories of him be strong and with you always.
Dianne & Family
Sending our Deepest Condolences we are praying for you & your family
