As we hear the sound of water against the canoe, We remember, As we hear the call of the loons in the early morning, We remember, As we hear the sounds of the campfire burning, We remember, As the quiet of the night falls and we raise our glasses in cheer, We remember, We will never hear your laugh, or your silly expres- sions that meant so much to all of us. We miss you Ferg; you will always be in the faces of the rocks and in our hearts. Barb, Calvin, and Alex. (48*) RAU - In loving memory of our dear mother, Madeline, who passed away one year ago, November 28, 2001. The moment that you died Our hearts were split in two The one side filled with memo- ries The other died with you. We speak of you in silence We always speak your name For all we have is memories, And your picture in a frame. We often lay awake at night When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks. The years we had with you Are worth their weight in gold The joys and laughter that you gave us Are ours to have and hold. Remembering you is easy to do We do it everyday But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. We hold you within our hearts And there you will remain To walk throughout our lives Until we meet again. Mom, God needed another angel and He chose you. It gives us comfort to know that you are at peace and in a beauti- ful place. You will always be forever and so deeply missed. Annette and Bernie (48*) COATES - In loving memory of our dear Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, Viola R. Coates, who passed away seven years ago, November 24, 1995. What we would give if we could say Hello, Mom, in the same old way To hear her voice and see her smile To sit and chat with her awhile. She meant so very much to us There is nothing we can say To tell the sadness in our hearts As we think of her each day. So you who have a Mother Cherish her with care For you will never know the heartache When she is no longer there. Lovingly remembered and so sadly missed by Shirley, Wilma and Wally, Keith and Jody, Grandchildren and Great- Grandchildren.
