"I will sail my vessel til the river runs dry, like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky - I'll never reach my destination if I never try. So, I will sail my vessel til the river runs dry!"

The Winds of Fate
One ship sails East and another sails West. With the selfsame winds that blow. Tis the set of the sails and not the gales, that determines the way they go. Like the winds of the sea, are the waves of fate, as we voyage along through life. Tis the set of the soul that decides the goal, and not the calm or the strife.

Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Foster Funeral Home, 22 Main Street, Baie Verte, NL
