January 8, 1932 - October 4, 2011. It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved mother and sister, Beverley, of Nanaimo, BC. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, son Ivan, daughter Rebecca, and son-in-law Mark, and by her sister Gloria. Born and raised in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and a long-time resident of Regina, Saskatchewan, Beverley was predeceased by her husband Bill, her parents Robert (Rex) Large and Gladys Large (nee Langrill), and her brothers, Jack and Don. After a brief illness, our dearest Mom and Sister has passed peacefully into Heaven. She now truly knows the presence of the Lord as she rests in the arms of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
I Am Always With You
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".
