BLANCHARD - In loving memory
of our dear mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, Mary (Cann)
Blanchard, who passed away one
year ago, December 20, 1986.
One precious to our hearts is gone.
The voice we loved is still.
The place made vacant in our lives,
Can never more be filled.
Always a thought and many a tear,
For one we miss and love so dear.
The sudden way you had to die,
We always remember and wonder
why.
No one knows the sorrow we share,
When the family meets and you're
not there.
We hold our tears when we speak
vour name,
Rut the ache in our heart remains the
sante.
Sadly missed by her family, Ida and
Bob, Margaret, Floyd and Alice, Har-
old and Kathy, Lynda and Bob, Gary
and Susan, grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. 50*

What I would give if I could say "Hi
mother and dad"
in the same old way
To hear your voice to see your
smiles
to sit and talk with you awhile
This month comes with sad regret,
Brings back a day we will never for-
get
-The blow was great, the shock sc-
vert,
We little thought the end was near.
Sadly missed by sons Homer, wife
Marilyn and family, Arnold, Shirley
and family. 50*
COWARD - In loving memory of a
dear grandmother, Vera Coward, who
left us two years ago December 16,

In a quiet country graveyard
Where the gentle breezes blow
Lies the one I loved so dearly
And lost two years ago.
In tears I watched you sinking
And watched you fade away
And though my heart was breaking
I knew you could not stay.
God thought you were suffering
That the hills were too hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine".
If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
Forever and always, your grand-
daughter, Judy. 50*

The call was sudden, the shock se-
vere
To part with one that was so dear
Now only a memory of .by -gone
days
And a sigh for a face unseen
But a constant feeling that God
alone
Knows just what should have been.
Sadly missed by Leona and Reg Elli-
ott. 50*

a dear father and grandfather, James

God looked around His garden
And found an empty space,
He then looked down upon this
earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine."
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.
Sadly missed by daughters Pat
McFalls, Ann Lawrence and families.

Deep in my heart you will always
stay
Loved and remembered every day
It's sad to walk the road alone
Instead of side by side
But to all there comes a moment
When the roads of life divide
You gave me years of happiness
Then came sorrow and fears
But you gave me beautiful memories
I will treasure through the years.
Happy thoughts of times together
Memories that will last forever.
Sadly missed by wife Dorothy. 50*

And God only knows the grief, .

Quietly remembered every day.
And when old times we do recall
It's then dad, we miss you most of
all.
