LESLIE MARY BENY
passed away December 11, 2014 in Victoria, B.C.
A very precious soul, whose heart was so full of love for her family….
I¹m Gone……
I¹ve come to the end of my journey
and I¹ve travelled my last weary mile,
Forget if you can, that I ever suffered
And remember only my smile.
Forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some
“Purple Carnations”
and place them where I will lay.
And come in the evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west,
Stand for a few moments beside me
and remember only my best….

Moms, 15 grandkids, 21 great grandkids and their parents will gather in the summer for her final farewell.
