COUTTS: In loving memory of Donald A. Coutts
who passed away 13 years ago March 5, 2001.
God called your name so softly,
That only you could hear,
And no one hears the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near,
The golden gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
- Always loved and never forgotten by sister
Marian and sister-in-law Elinore
DALRYMPLE: In loving memory of our
dear mom, Marie, 1912-1999
When tomorrow starts without you,
We try to understand,
That an angel came, called your name,
And took you by the hand.
When tomorrow starts without you,
Don't think we're far apart,
And every time we think of you,
You are right here in our hearts.
- Love Dorothy, Audrey and Lila
DRISCOLL: In loving memory of a dear
wife, mother and grandmother, Karen
Driscoll (Hugill) who left us March 9, 2000.
Dear mother, you are not forgotten; though
on earth you are no more.
Still in memory you are with us as you
always were before.
Nanny's Little Sweetheart, Colin is getting
married in May and we know you will be
sending your love from Heaven.
- Lovingly remembered and sadly missed
by Ron, Shelly, Len, Scott, Coleen, Jeff,
Greg, Colin, Ryan, Danielle and Devon.
TIPPELT: In loving memory of Otto Tippelt
who passed away Feb. 28, 2008. A dear
Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great
Grandfather.
It is hard to walk the road alone,
It's hard to drive the car without you by my
side,
Your departure has left me in everlasting
loneliness,
I will carry you in my heart forever.
- All our love, your wife and sons, grand
and grand -grandchildren
