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 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, 1985. 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* DA VEY - In memory of a brother and brother-in-law, Don, who sud- denly passed away December 20, ' 1986. Little we knew when we awoke that morning .

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."
