Mother spent most of her life in Steinbach, where she acquired many friends through her hospitable disposition. She often expressed her deep concern for her family and brothers. In May 1940, when our little sister Barbara, was taken away, father and mother answered the Master's call to repentance, and were baptized and added to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. Our father, John P. Wiebe, the son of P. H. Wiebe, was born November 28, 1903, at Greenland, Manitoba and reached the age of 52 years. On December 14, 1953, he was married to our mother Helen Friesen, with whom he shared joys and sorrows for 22 years. To this union were born Robert, Barbara, Clifford, Gerald, and Delbert. He was an active member in church and community affairs. He served as an usher in church for many years. For about 18 years he was with the Crescent Creamery, and the last three years in Steinbach Creamery. Delbert Raymond was born May 17, 1952, at Steinbach, Manitoba, and reached the age of three years nine months. Delbert was a cheerful boy. He, like a fragrant flower, today was, tomorrow plucked away. Father, mother, Gerry and Delbert left for Winnipeg to visit our Uncle and aunt Jim Friesens, and a few minutes after joining George Wohlgemuth, they met their tragic end on February 9, near Ste. Anne, Manitoba. They leave us, Robert, Clifford and Gerald, to mourn their sudden departure. Our father leaves five brothers, Neil, William, and Ben of Steinbach, Joseph of Ashern, Man., Frank of British Columbia; five sisters, Mrs. P. S. Guenther, Mrs. Ben. E. Toews, Mrs. G. D. Penner of Steinbach, Mrs. Ben. Barkman, Mrs. Frank Barkman of Swalwell, Alberta. His parents, two sisters and little Barbara preceded him in death. Our mother leaves her parents, five brothers, Art Friesen of California, Henry, Andrew, and Jim of Winnipeg, and Abe of Toronto. We mourn, not as sorrowing ones without hope, but have assurance that they are resting at the throne of God, beckoning us to follow them. The only three of the family: ---Robert, Clifford, Gerald Wiebe. The sun was sinking in the western sky, When God looked down from His throne on high, On February ninth, nineteen fifty-six, He gathered home five precious souls. How can it be, who can understand? Why? no farewell, no parting hand, They just stepped out and shut the door. It's hard to believe; they are no more. With Father and Mother and dear Delbert gone, How empty the place! How vacant the home! But Jesus hath said, "Come unto me, I will comfort and heal and strengthen thee. And reunite in the mansions so fair, The blessings with Him forever to share And give you the right to the tree of Life, Which ends all sorrow and weeping and strife. How many times in the years that are gone, With a loving smile, our dear brother John In these church pews, he bid us a seat What a blessing it was, together to meet. With saddened hearts, we lay you to rest, God hath so decreed; His ways are the best. Farewell dearest loved ones. Farewell we must say, Till we meet in the land that is fairer than day. -Written for bereaved by Bernard W. Friesen Funeral services for the three were held February 16, 1956 at the North End Church in Steinbach. Minister H. H. Barkman made introductory remarks and prayer. Minister A. P. Barkman chose words of comfort from Eccl. 3:14-15; Heb. 11:8-10 and 14-16. Additional remarks and prayer were made by Minister John D. Penner. The bodies were laid to rest side by side in the Steinbach cemetery where Min. Martin Barkman closed in prayer. Corr.
