“Family is the compass of Life.” We will miss you … xox
In reaching out a hand of love,
To touch another heart;
A seed of love is planted,
And so the circle starts.
A never-ending circle,
Will keep on touching hearts;
As long as seeds of love still bloom,
That were planted at the start.
Arrangements entrusted to Grand Forks Funeral Home.
