HUFFMAN, Clifford: In loving memory of
Clifford Huffman who passed away June
16, 2006.
You were someone special,
Who can never be replaced,
Your memories in our lives,
Can never be erase.
Time cannot steal the memories,
We carry in our hearts,
Or take away the happy years,
Of which you were a part.
Those we loved don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed,
Still always near.
- Sadly missed and loved by wife Marian
and sister-in-law Elinore
RYAN, Marianna: In loving memory of
Marianna Ryan (June 12, 2012).
In tears we saw you sinking,
And watched you pass away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
We wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us,
To suffer that again.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Love Your Family
SCHWARZ, Mary Catherine: In memory of
our loving mom and grandma who passed
away June 17, 2015.
On The Anniversary
Of The Day You Went Away
Today's the anniversary
Of the day that we lost you,
And for a time it felt as though
Our lives had ended too,
But loss has taught us many things,
And now we face each day,
With hope and happy memories,
To help us on our way.
And although we're full of sadness,
That you're no longer here,
Your influence still guides us,
And we still feel you near.
What we shared will never die,
It lives within our heart,
Bringing strength and comfort
While we are apart.
- Always remembered by Mike, Pauline,
Melissa and Matthew
