Sis will be remembered by her family as a beautiful singer, a grower of magnificent dahlias, and the most wonderful cook. She loved dancing and walks in the woods, playing cards and travelling to visit her children and grandchildren. She had a wonderful sense of humour and loved to laugh, and was a source of strength and courage to all of us through the most trying of times. Mom was gentle, wise and kind, and even though she endured many difficult days after she became ill, she remained – always – grateful for her life and her family. She had great faith in God and loved Him through it all, knowing he would come and take her Home when it was time. Cremation has taken place.
