ISABELLE REFVIK We sadly announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Isabelle Refvik, on Friday, June 6, 2014. She passed peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family, at the Poseidon Care Centre, at the age of 83 years. Mom was joyfully greeted by her son Eric, and her eight brothers and sisters who predeceased her. Isabelle will be sorely missed and forever remembered by her son Brad (Clare); daughter Shelley (Trevor); daughter in law Rhona; and two sisters, Hazel and Donna. Grandma is also lovingly remembered by her seven grandchildren: Shannon (Jasper), Shayla, Joel, Samantha, Ryan, Mira and Rebecca. She is so proud of all of you! We loved our Mother dearly but know that she is at peace, being held in the arms of her son Eric. In keeping with our Mother's wishes, a Celebration of her Life with family and friends will take place in Miami, Manitoba, in October. A special thanks to the dedicated and compassionate fifth floor staff at the Poseidon Care Centre, for their gentle kindness, and for taking such great care of Mom during her extended stay. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the the Arthritis Society, 105 386 Broadway Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3C 3R6. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 1020 Main Street, 204-586-8668, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com I'd like the memory of me, To be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow Of smiles when the day is done I'd love to leave an echo Whispering softly down the ways Of happy times and laughing times And bright and sunny days I'd like the tears of those who grieve To dry before the sun Of happy memories I leave behind When the day is done....... Until we meet again.
