The extended kind- ness from family, friends, neighbours and strangers is unbelievable. I would like to thank those who took care of our home, pets and outdoor maintenance while we were away. It has been these acts of kind- ness that has and continues to help us along this life altering journey. Our family wishes to express a heartfelt appreciation towards the Wingham Fire Department, the Paramedics, Ornge, the Doctors and Nurses at the Wingham Hospital and at the London Health Science Centre for their fast response and lifesaving abilities/skills. Also, a big thank you goes out to the Physio- therapists, Kinesiologists and Personal Support Workers for their continuous and vital part in my road to recovery. Most im- portantly, we would like to thank everyone who expressed and offered their prayers for myself and my family during this trying time. To each and every one, you have made a difficult and trying situation bearable and we would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all. We have much to be grateful for. Marsha Benninger & Family COX We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support since Craig's passing. He was a good family man and a great friend to many. The celebration of Craig's life, attended by so many, was a testament to the number of lives he touched. We wish to thank friends for visits, calls, cards, food, flowers and donations in Craig's honor. Messages of condolence and comforting words on cards mean so much right now. Special thanks to Rev. Randy Covey for a tribute to Craig's accomplishments in spite of difficulties he faced daily and to nephew Terry for insight into his personality. Special music by Peter Postill and Myra Parsons was deeply appreciated. Also thanks to Falconer Funeral Home for their guidance and Clinton Public Hospital staff for continuing compassion and dedication over the years. We are also grateful to the Clinton United Church women for a delicious lunch after the service. To so many others who gave us their support and friendship over many years, your kindness was appreciated and will be remembered always. - The Cox Family RATHWELL We would like to thank everyone for the many acts of kindness shown to us on the passing of our dear daughter, sister, and aunt, Jean Rathwell. Your phone calls, cards, visits, emails, food and other gifts, were very much appreciated at this sad time. Jean was very special to all of us, and is deeply missed. Thank you, Helen Turner and family. e4hry idgie In Memoriams In Memoriams TOM PENHALE In fond and loving memory of Tom Penhale who passed away Easter Sunday morning 4th of April 2010. Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has laid you see. I took his hand when I heard his call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void. Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. O yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of to -morrow. My life was full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. And in the summer just gather some flowers. And remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of evening. When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few minutes beside me And remember only my best. Forever in our hearts and memories. Carol, Rick and Wendy, Grandchildren Ryan, Kendra, Kelsey and Tyson.
