WARD, Elva (nee Gilbert)

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

Roy and Merle Gilbert. Predeceased

grandchildren Maya, Sierra and
Thomas. Survived by brother Bill,
Bob (Beryl), Denis (Lois), Gord (Bev)
and sister-in-law Irene. Predeceased
by siblings Dorothy, Allan, Ted and
Joan. We are grateful that we had
Mum for so long, and are very
thankful for all the love, support,
and prayers as she moved to the end
of her life, especially from Linda
Ward, Janet Wilmott, Gord and Bev
Gilbert, and the caregivers at the
Willowgrove. You walked alongside
us as a family. Visitation will take

donations made to local charities in

Book of Condolences
Elva Ward
Posted on: June 5, 2017
Mark, Faye, Dorothy, Tom , Linda and Dianna,
David and I are praying for you in this difficult time. I know that Aunt Elva lived a very long and fruitful life, but it is still hard to say "goodbye" to those we love. At least we are assured that we will all be together in the Father's presence. Aunt Elva was a very caring soul - until quite recently she always sent me a birthday card. How very much I appreciated that! "For now we see through a glass darkly, but then, face to face".
