Dear Jeremy, Our thoughts of you are just as strong, In the seven long years since you've been gone. We visit your gravesite, even though you're not there, Just out of respect, to show you we care. Your hand on our shoulder is felt out of love, We know that you're there, with the signs from above. In the warm breeze that blows and the sun on our backs, You're in our presence, and no love lacks. But oh! for the feel of your arms in embrace, And that huge warm smile you wore on your face. You're always so near, yet so far away, We miss you so, each and every day. Cheers to you! Our hats go off to salute a man that won't be forgotten. Love Mom (39*) C In Memoriam MCKINNON - In loving memory of my dearest husband Charles who passed away 1 year ago September 23, 2007. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same. We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. Those special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Always loved and missed, Your wife Jeanette and the McKinnon Family. (39*) MORLOCK - In loving memory of a dear hus- band, father and grandfather Ray Morlock who passed away September 25, 2003 and Barry Morlock who passed away 1977. When thoughts go back as they often do, We treasure the memories we have of you, Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts you are always there. Lovingly remembered by Grace, Janet and Bruce, Nancy and Jim, Chris and Bob and fami- lies. (39*) PICKERING - In loving memory of a dear hus- band, father and grandfather John E., who passed away September 22, 1982 and brother in law and uncle James Harold who passed away August 30, 2002. A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memories still. But death has left a loneliness, The world can never fill. Always loved and remembered by Marilyn and family. (39*) FANNER - In loving memory of my dear broth- er John who passed away 1 year ago September 29, 2007. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So 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, Peacefully and free of pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. So keep your arms around him Lord, And give him special care, Make up for all he suffered, That seemed to us unfair. So many times we've needed you, So many times we've cried, If love could have saved you, You never would have died. Always in our hearts, never forgotten. Nancy and Ron.
