In Loving Memory Gillian Lunau (nee Shields) November 28, 1970 â?? January 2, 2008 If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane We'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. Our heart's still active in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you'll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our heart Is where you'll always stay. God knows why, with chilling touch, Death gathers those we love so much, And what now seems so strange and dim, Will all be clear, when we meet Him. We miss you every moment of every day Our beautiful daughter & sister Gillian Love Mom, Dad, Debbie & Phyllis Published : 2009-01-02
In Loving Memory of a Wonderful Mother Earldine "Dean" Robinson April 4, 1931 - January 2, 2008 Each day I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, Don't cry I'm only sleeping, We'll meet again some day. And when I'm sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I hear you whisper softly, Just try to carry on. If I could make one wish tonight And know it would come true, I'd telephone to Heaven Mom And ask to speak to you. Love You Always "Hugs and Kisses" Marianne Published : 2009-01-02
In loving memory of Jim Ford Our lives go on without you, and nothing is the same. We have to hide our heartache, when someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall. Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true. And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you shall remain. To walk us throughout our lives, Until we meet again. Always loved, sadly missed, and never out of our hearts and minds. Ruth, Michael, Lyal, Danny and families Published : 2009-01-02
