Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening steal across the sky.
Jesus, give the weary calm and sweet repose;
With thy tenderest blessing, may our eyelids close.
Through the ling night-watches, may thine angels spread,
Their white wings above us, watching round each bed.
When the morning wakens, then may I arise,
Pure and fresh and sinless, in Thy holy eyes.
Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run. Amen.
A special thank you to the doctors and devoted nursing staff at RVH and Soldiers Memorial for your care and compassion over these past few months.
A service to celebrate and remember Susan’s life will be held at the Simcoe Funeral Home- 38 James Street E. Orillia on Saturday February 18th, at 1 p.m. A reception and time of visitation will follow.
