ESPIE _ Sarah Kristen Eva May 26, 1986 - July 14, 2006 The days have turned
to weeks, The weeks are now a year. Quietly we weep, Wishing you were here.

forever in our hearts. Until the day we meet again, To never be apart.
Deeply loved & sadly missed Mommy & Dad Breathe easy my girl.

missed by his daughter Carla, son Kevin, daughter-in-law Joanna,
grandchildren Austin, Jackson and Tia, brother Bill, sister Barb, as well as
many relatives and friends. Harry grew up in Winnipeg, raised his family in
Langley, and spent countless summers at Cultus Lake. Family meant everything
to him: he was a wonderful father and proud grandpa. His love of sports will
live on in his children and grandchildren. We will think of him every time
we lace up our skates, put on our skis, hit the water, and cheer on our
teams. There will be a celebration of Harry's life at Sunnyside Campground
at Cultus Lake (site S329) from noon to 5pm Saturday, July 14, 2007. We will
say a few words and raise our glasses to him at 3pm. In lieu of flowers, a
donation in his name to the BC Blind Sports and Recreation Association would
be greatly appreciated.
