Mom is Now at Peace

This morning, Mom passed away at home, surrounded by her family.  We will dearly miss Mom, but are thankful that she will no longer experience pain and is now in glory.

The funeral visitation will be held at Vineland Free Reformed Church, 3685 King Street, Vineland, Ontario on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 - 9:00 p.m..  The funeral service will take place on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Vineland Free Reformed Church.  If you wish to attend at the cemetery, we will be meeting at the church between 9:00 - 9:15 a.m. and then will drive to the Vineland Cemetery.  

We would like to thank everyone for all the kindness that has been shown to Mom and Dad and all of us during the course of Mom's battle with leukemia.   Even though Mom lost her fight against this disease, she is victorious, in the sense that she is now with her precious Saviour, never to experience pain and suffering again.

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. 

Psalm 46:1-3

  5. Gecondoleerd van ons uit Holland. Wij herinneren haar als een moedige lieve nicht vooral voor onze ene dochter die gek op/met haar was.

Elly Zwiep's Blog was a testament to Elly's battle with leukemia, and also of the loving family that surrounded her during life.
