HUMPHREYS - In loving
memory of Betty (Nov. 2,
1998) and Thomas (Nov. 14,
1976).
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.
Lovingly remembered always
by the Humphrey’s families.

time
The blessings of each tomor-

JONATHON GROOT ~ OCTOBER 29
Brothers and Sisters share a special
bond,
You gave me the freedom to be just
myself - never a need to pretend
Acceptance with unconditional love,
My brother and my friend.
I miss your laugh and your look,
Which makes it unbelievably hard to
be apart,
All the things that I have to tell you,
Instead I’ll just tell you through my
heart.
No one or thing can ever replace you,
With all the love I have in me I will
send,
I miss and love you so much
Jonathon,
My brother and my friend.
Love you always and forever,
