Heritage House’s mitten tree of kindness
In loving memory of our Mother,
Grandmother and Great Grandmother
Neutrine (Alice) May Shank
May 1, 1933 – January 6, 2010
A special smile, a special face
And in our hearts a special place
No words we speak can ever say
How much we miss you everyday.
To hear your voice, to see your smile
To sit and talk with you a while
To be together the same old way
Would be our greatest wish today
May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper so you’ll hear
“We will always love and miss you
Mom, Grandma, & GG. And wish
that you were here.”
Forever loved and sadly missed by
your children: Neoma, (Don), Wayne,
(Susie), Bill, (Nettie), Debbie,
(David), Garry, (Charlotte), Kim,
Tracy), grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.
