July 2023 Abe was diagnosed with TCel lymphoma had his last treatment January 12 2024. He was healthy for a good 11 months and then it came back.
Abe was hard working man and for the last 30 years Abe was never late for his appointments neither was he late for his last appointment with God. Family was also very important to Abe. As a brother in law the visit in the hospital was very special to myself and to the people in the hospital. Abe held my hand tight " I have not always been a good boy but after much prayer God forgave my short comings and now I am a free man with peace and joy in my heart. Abe also said if god can and has forgiven me if we but only ask God will forgive. Let also radiate that there is no room for sin in heaven.
Abe loved gardening. Grew a lot of potatoes he also shared them with family and friends. Abe was very meticulous about how the crop was dug only by hand in 2024 it was done in the mud.
Also a special thank you to Pastor Art Wiebe, Dr Woelk and the medical staff at BTHC and St Boniface Hospital, Wiebe Funeral Homes, family and friends, the Winkler Sommerfeld Serving Group and also the many prayers. Thank you from the family.
