Mother, you have taught us well and will not be forgotten. God saw you
getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So He closed his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to me". You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did
not bend, You faced your path with courage, Until the very end. You did not
deserve what you went through, And so He gave you rest, God's garden must be
beautiful, He only takes the best. And when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful
and free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. Bell &

In Loving Memory of JEAN CAMPBELL CRANSWICK May 11, 1934 - February 19, 2003
"A bonnie lass she was" In tears I saw you sinking I watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay. You faced your
task with courage, Your spirit did not bend, And still you kept on fighting,
Until the very end. God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, So
He put his arms around you And whispered "Come to Me". So when I saw you
sleeping So peaceful, free from pain, I could not wish you back To suffer
that again. Lovingly remembered by her husband Harry, daughter Donna and
son-in-law Mike. What it meant to lose you No one will ever know But I will
carry you within my heart Wherever I shall go.

CRISTALL _ Elizabeth Lloyd Zaklan February 01, 1938 - February 15, 2007 A
vivacious, flamboyant and loving woman will be missed by all those whose
lives she enriched. Her great love was her husband Danny Cristall. After he
passed away, Elizabeth received God's gift of a second love in Carleton
Urdahl and her many friends rejoiced with them realizing that life is short,
and having a second love doesn't mean they loved their first partner any
less. Elizabeth had an insatiable appetite for life, from musical concerts
with her elementary school students in Vancouver, to world travel with her
husband and friends; from numerous parties and celebrations in Vancouver and
Hawaii, to her fascination and success with the stock market. Elizabeth is
survived by her sister Valery Watts, her nephew Lloyd and niece Megan and
three grand-nieces. Liz, your joie de vivre and generosity continues to warm
and inspire us. Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, February 21,
2007 at 10:30 am at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831-28 Ave,
Surrey, B.C.
