258 In Memoriam
FERGUSON - In loving
memory of Norman Ferguson
who passed away 5 years ago,
April 2, 2003.
A page in the book of memo-
ry
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence
And make no outward show
And what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Loved always by your wife
Olive and daughters Patricia,
Doris and families. (14*)
FISHER - In loving memory
of a dear Husband, Father and
Grandpa who passed away
two years ago April 2, 2006.
Ben, we often reminisce
And have a laugh or two
Fondly telling stories
Of things you'd say or do.
Your memory is so special
Your presence missed so
much
You are always in our
thoughts
And loved by all of us.
So dearly loved and missed
by Marie, Randy and Cindy
and Families (14*)
MOFFATT - In loving memo-
ry of a best friend and devot-
ed husband of 60 years, dear-

258 In Memoriam
SKINNER - In loving memory
of our precious angel,
Stephanie Lynn April 20th,
1989 - April 5th, 1990.
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord
Please pick a bunch for us.
Place them in her arms
And tell her they're from us.
Tell her we love her and miss
her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is
easy,
We do it every day,
But there is an ache within our
hearts,
That will never go away.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
Because part of me went with
you
That day I couldn't take you
home.
Steve, Audrey, Lucas and
Brianne (14*)
WEBBER - In loving memory
of Lee who passed away April
4, 2003.
They say time heals all sorrow
And helps us to forget,
But time has only proven
How much we miss you yet.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But someday we'll be together
And the chain will link again.
Lovingly remembered by
Helen, Margaret & Gordie,
Barb & Larry, Marlene, Doug
& Patty and families. (14*)
