J.T. (John Thomas) Higgins

Peacefully, after a brief illness, borne with courage, dignity and great strength, at home in the care of his devoted family. Pre-deceased by his sister Kathleen, his mother Kathleen and his father John. Survived by his heartbroken wife and forever friend Ann Marie. Deeply mourned and sadly missed by his sister Ann Lynch, brothers Joseph & Aidan, mother in law, father in law, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, neighbours, and wide circle of friends. 

Sometimes we come to life's crossroads,

and we view what we think is the end

But God has a much wider vision,

and he knows that it's only a bend

The road will go on and get smoother,

and after we've stopped for a rest

The path that lies hidden beyond us,

is often the path that is best

So rest and relax and grow stronger,

let go and let God share your load

And have faith in a brighter tomorrow,

you've just come to a bend in the road.

Rest In Peace J.T.
