HIRSCHELD, Reinhold

Our husband, father and Opa, Reinhold Hirschfeld, passed away on January 9th, 2015. Opa’s journey has come to an end on Earth, and a new beginning in Heaven. It was a peaceful passing, with a lot of tears shed. Heavy hearts and lots of kisses for Opa sent him on his Path to a new heavenly life and all the rewards it has to offer. Opa has rounded a bend in the road and has briefly disappeared out of sight. We can’t see him, but we know he is there. When we all get to that bend in the road from earthly life to Heaven we will be with him again. God’s speed to you Reinhold, dad and Opa until we all meet again. Special thank you to all of the ICU and palliative care staff at the Battlefords Union Hospital for their tireless caring for Opa through his final earthly journey.
