Jolien Hager says
I looked to the sky saw a eagle fly
Heard its song
Like a angel s song
I looked to the sky seen a light
I heard the sounds of horn blowing
Like a memory gone by to soon
We walked and talked
Even made a wish
Hoped a good life would come our way
I looked in the mirror
Dropped to to my knees and began to pray
I didn’t even remember my name
I head my cry
As I called out your name
Was it all a memory of the life we chose

Deepest sympathies to the whole Prieve family. We had many fun times with George and Millie, snowmobiling, playing cards with the Tupas and Zackrisons many years ago! I also bowled with Millie. Prayers for your comfort knowing they are together again.
