106 In Memoriam
JOHNS - In memory of my hus-
band Norm, loving dad, grandpa
and great -grandpa who passed
away February 25th, 1997.
We cannot hold the hands of
time
Or live again the past,
But precious memories do
remain
And will always last.
Thanks for the memories.
Forever in our hearts, Jean and
family. (8x)
OVERHOLT - My heart is sad,
it's not easy to say, I lost my Best
Friend, my "Husband", one year
ago today. Phil Overholt. Oct.
13, 1940 - Feb. 23, 2004.
Someone I love is in Heaven
Lord,
I think You'll know his name.
He went to you one year ago,
And left me in such pain.
I treasure the time I had with him
I know he was only lent
And I had to give him back to
You,
Because he was from Heaven
sent.
This angel's name is Phil, Lord
He meant the world to me,
So keep him close beside You,
now,
For one day that's where I'll be.
Let the stars be your candles Phil
Keep them burning bright,
So when I look to Heaven,
I'll know that you're alright.
Rest in peace now Phil
But please remember this,
I Love You Dearly and from my
life
You are sorely missed.
Always in my heart, your wife
Vonnie. (8*)
OVERHOLT - In Memory of
Philip Overholt who passed
away February 23, 2004.
What we wouldn't give just to
say a quick hello
To see the twinkle in your eye
That unforgettable smile that
always silently said,
"I'm proud to be your Dad"
You were the core of our family
The one who made us all laugh
until we cried
Days have come and gone
But not without endless quiet
moments
of a man who meant so much to
all of us.
You are our hero, our brave soul,
Our undying spirit.
We pray that you will guide us as
you always did, and that the pain
of such a great loss will lessen as
our lives continue on without
you.
We will always love you and
never forget you. Joe and Nancy
Becker (8*)
OVERHOLT - In memory of our
hero, our Dearest Papas
Overholt.
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
He closed His arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me".
In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping
So peacefully free from pain,
We would not wish you back
To suffer so again.
So keep your arms around him
Lord,
And give him special care,
Make up for all he suffered
And all that seemed unfair.
Missing you, Love Alyssa Joy,
Breanne and Candace (8*)

LIGHTFOOT - In memory of
our friend Mike - February 21,
2004.
Our friendship circle has been
broken
A link gone from our chain
But in our hearts your memory
lingers
And always will remain.
In our thoughts always, Jim,
Catherine, Matt, Mike and
Emily. (8*)
MORLEY - In loving memory
of a dear Dad and Grandpa, Ted
who passed away February 21,
2003.
A Dad holds a special place,
In a daughter's heart they say,
And Dad you hold a special
place,
Today and every day.
My love for you will always
keep,
It cannot fade it lies too deep.
My heart still aches as I whisper
low,
God bless you Dad, I love you
so.
Lovingly remembered - Elaine &
Brian, Michael & Marc (8*)
RIMMER - In loving memory of
a dear son, brother and uncle,
Doug Rimmer, who passed away
February 29, 2004.
We little knew that moming,
God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Missing you more with each
passing day, your family. (8*)
ROBINSON - In loving memory
of a dear husband, father and
grandfather, Jack, who passed
away February 29, 2004.
Time cannot steal the memories
We have within our hearts
Nor take away the happy years
Of which we were all a part.
To hear your voice and see your
smile
To sit with you and talk awhile
To be together in the same old
way
Would be our greatest wish
today.
Sadly missed and always loved
by your wife Wanda and family.

VOLLAND - In Loving
Memory of my Dear Wife
Dorothy, who passed away 1
year ago, February 26, 2004.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
You had a smile for everyone,
You had a heart of gold,
You left the sweetest memories,
This world could ever hold.
To me you were very special,
What more is there to say,
Except to wish that you were
well,
And here with me today...
Forever loved and missed by
your husband Keith. (8*)

VOLLAND - In Loving
Memory of our dear mother
Dorothy, who passed away 1
year ago, February 26, 2004.
The moment that you died
Our hearts were split in two
The one side filled with memo-
ries
The other died with you.
We think of you in silence
We always speak your name
For all we have are 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 joy and laughter that you
gave us
Are ours to have and hold.
Remembering you is easy to do
We do it every day
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.
Until then Mom, may you be
our Guardian Angel
And know that your memories
will live in our hearts forever,
And we were so truly blessed
to have you for our mother.
Karen & Danny, Doug. Lisa &
Rob (8*)
VOLLAND - In Loving
Memory of our dear Grandma,
Nanny & Nanny Grapes, who
passed away 1 year ago,
February 26, 2004.
Maybe we can't touch your
hand
Or see your smiling face
And maybe we can't hear your
voice,
Or feel your warm embrace,
But there is something we'll
always have,
Tucked safely in our hearts,
Our love for you, your love for
us,
Will never let us part.
Always remembered and sadly
missed by your grandchildren
Laura, Leanne & Kaitlyn,
Corey, and Angel & Chase and
your Great-grandson Curtis

WILDS - In loving memory of
a wonderful Husband and
Father, Henry Wilds who
passed away February 22,
1998.
On this day 7 years ago you
left this world in which you
were born.
We've decided on this day this
year we want to honour you
instead of mourn.
You were a hard working hus-
band and father; yet you
always managed to be there!
Through our joys and our sad-
ness you always showed us
your support and your care.
Thanks for the gifts of honesty
and truthfulness, courageous-
ness and love though we miss
you and we know you're smil-
ing on us from your heavenly
home above.
From your loving wife and
children. (8*)

BILCKE: In loving memory of a dear father Rick who passed
away Feb. 16, 2004.
MY FATHER... Yesterday I went to the old pond. I looked at the fish I
pulled out of the water, AND I SAW HIM.
Just last week I drove to Ohio. I looked at the transport truck driving
beside me, AND I SAW HIM.
Last month I went to the mountains and as I looked up at them,
SAW HIM.
In March I climbed onto my roof. As I stared at the shingles he
worked with, I saw my father and knew everything was alright.

In loving memory of a dear
brother and uncle,
Christopher who passed
away suddenly 6 years ago,
February 20, 1999.
In loving memory of our
son, Christopher who left
us suddenly 6 years ago,
February 20, 1999.
Christopher, dear Christopher,
my brother, my friend
The Lord only knows why we
had such little time to
spend. It seems such a
long time, but then
you passed away.
And to me all those
years, seem like
only a day.
They tell me in time
that my heart
will heal
But I know in my
heart Christopher,
that's not how I feel.
I'll never forget you or
your smiling face
A brother like you,
no one can replace.
So as I go on through
the rest of my time
My love for you
Christopher, in my heart will
always shine.
Always remembered and sadly
missed. Luke, Carrie and niece
Mackenzie
Just for a moment....
Wrap us in your angel wings,
And we will pretend they are
your arms.
Just for a moment...
Let us hear your sooth-
ing voice, so we can
hear "love ya" again.
Just for a moment...
Let us see the sparkle
in your big brown
eyes,
And see your beautiful
smile, and remember
the happiness inside.
Just for a moment...
Rest your strong hand on
our hearts,
And the ache will be gone.
Help us to find a way,
To give ourselves peace.
Just for a moment...
Be with us again Christopher
Even if it is, just for a moment.
Always in our hearts, Mom &
Brian
