It's difficult when someone
Who is loved cannot be there,
But memories that are made and shared
Will keep a loved one near.
And God, with loving wisdom,
Will be there to guide us through;
He'll help us meet tomorrow
And He'll give us strength anew.

Time does fly by. It brings comfort to those who have lost a loved one. The thoughtfulness of family and friends with their messages of comfort by cards, telephone calls, memorial masses, personal visits, gifts of food and attendance at the Memorial Mass for Dad Colling will long be remembered by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Memorial are being accepted.
