Witten by Phyllis Elaschuk "Even God in his mercy couldn't watch you suffer any more. He called his name Wilf come home you have suffered long enough. So God reaches down and took your soul and the angel of death came and picked you up out of your misery. I know you would have taken me with you because you were afraid that I would not make it on my own. I guess the suitcase was not big enough for both of us. I will miss your smile, the feel of your hand and your loving touch. I will always love you and miss you." Wilfred will always and forever be remembered by his wife Phyllis , his children, grandchild, other relatives and friends. Psalm 91: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most. High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and fortress: my God; in him will I trust. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
