Don’t weep for me my children; time has so quickly flown, I’ve lived in the scene of time and change and watched my children grown. Don’t mourn too long, my children Rejoice in the memories past, I’ve gone to join the others I’m going home at last.   As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on July 04, 2012
