May you always walk in sunshine And God's love around you flow, For all the happiness you gave us No one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, Mom, part of us went with you The day God called you home. Your thoughts were so full of us You never could forget, And so we think that where you are You must be watching yet. As Angels keep their watch up there Please God just let Mom know, That we down here will not forget We love and miss her so. If we could have one lifetime wish One dream that could come true, We would wish with all our hearts For yesterday and you. Lord if there are roses in Heaven Pick a bunch with care, Place them in both her arms And tell her we still care. 204-586-8044

We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to all of Saozinha's family! I met Saozinha at a family gathering, she was very jovial, happy and fun to be with. She than got me a summer job at the factory where she worked. It was a pleasure working alongside Saozinha. She took me under her wing, and showed me the ropes. I will always remember her smile, kindness, and her zest for life. Thank you Saozinha, for all your kindness! Today we rejoice, and thank God for giving us the chance to have you in our lives. R.I.P.
