What would we give her hand to clasp, Her patient face to see, To hear her voice, to see her smile, As in the days that used to be. But some sweet day we'll meet again, Beyond the toil and strife, And clasp each other's hand once more, In heaven, that happy life. Always missed but never forgotten. Love Harold Sr., Harold Jr., Karen, Brandon and Judy. MACGREGOR - In memory of Donald R. MacGregor, who passed away 25 years ago November 13, 1983. We remember a very special person, Who gave to our community, And how you touched everyone around you, Your presence is with us, in your children and their children. Loved and missed very much, Audrey, Mary and Jim, Katherine and Rob and families. (46*) ROWCLIFFE - In loving memory of a dear son John Rowcliffe who passed away November 15, 2006. There is always a face before me, A voice I would love to hear, A smile I will always remember, Of a son I loved so dear. Deep in my heart lies a picture, More precious than silver and gold, It's a picture of my son, Who's memory will never grow old. Loved forever, Mom.

(46*) SUTHERLAND - Lisa (Hyde), November 16, 2007 "Always Loving, Loved Always." Tonight the stars are gleaming, On a lonely, silent grave, Where sleeps in dreamless slumber, One we loved but could not save; No one knows the silent heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell, Of the grief that we bear in silence For the one we loved so well. Forever loved and missed by your dad and mom. (46*) SUTHERLAND, LISA - Sister: Sister, my dear sister, I wish that I could see you every day, So you can tell me you're not alone, And heaven is okay. I need something to help me carry on, Cause I can't accept the fact that you're gone. Trying to hide the tears, because of my pride, Even though I'm dying inside. Deep in my soul a sorrow haunted by every tomorrow, Cause you're not there waiting, It's not fair my heart is fading, All I should have said will never be, Never got to say what you meant to me, Or to our whole family. So sister, my dear sister, I'll start living a better way, So you can welcome me home someday. by Michael Jimenez Lisa, a day does not pass that I do not think of you. I miss you. Love Jacqueline.
