The Goderich Signal-Star, 2009-04-29, Page 39Deadlines: Friday @ 3 p.m. Holiday Weekends Friddy @ 10 a.m. he McNworiaaas FIELDER In loving memory of Bev, who left us May 3, 2006. Although we smile and make no fuss, No one misses her more than us, And when old times we often recall, It's then we miss her most of all. A silent thought, a secret tear, Keeps her memory always near, Deep in our hearts, you'll always stay, Loved and remembered every day. Loved and missed by George and family. —18x ALBERT JAMES SHORE In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, who passed away two years', ago, April 28, 2007. "We have loved him in life; let us not forget him in death" - St. Ambrose. You hold a very special place, Locked deep within our hearts.. Where love lives on forever, And we are never far apart. If roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for us, Please place them in our Father's arms, And tell him they're from us. Place a kiss upon his cheek, And hold him for awhile, And whisper that we love him, And we miss his happy smile. Always loved and remembered by wife Marlene, daughter Judy, son-in-law Gary, grandchildren Jennifer (Mike),. Ryan (Liz), great-grandsons Ben, Lucas and Nathan. Also loved and remembered by brother Harold and family and by many friends. —18x "When you are through re throe, cd) Bowes Publishers Umited A Subsidiary of Sun Media Corporation - A Quebecor Company The Goderich Signal -Star, published every Wednesda , 52 times per year, at Goderich, Ontario is one of The S ag Group of Community Newspapers.

They have changed their hours slightly to 9:30 — 11:00 every second Thursday. The next play- group will be held May 7. It is wonderful to see the children enjoy the toys, songs and crafts as well as picking out the toys they wish to borrow for the next two weeks. Diane Maize sent me the following note regarding a new exciting program she is pro- moting for the young people in our commu- nity: "I am excited to share with the community that I am looking at starting a Group for the Kids in the Port Albert Area. I am looking for children between the ages of 5 and 12 to meet once a week to engage in community activi- ties. My foctis is to assist them in building a greater respect for the community that we live in and love so much, to give back to others in a respectful and caning way and enjoy the • lovely area that we are being raised in. We will also prepare for our BIG CELEBRA- TION in 2011! I am also hoping to have a program for the little ones between the ages c huge success of 2 and 4. I am very excited to be able to give something back to the community that I was raised in myself. I recently moved home to the Port Albert area after being in Newmarket for the last 25 years. I am a Child and Youth Worker with 25 years of experience with chil- dren, youth and their families. I would love to hear from the community if they feel this would benefit their children or other children they may know. We are looking at meeting at Christ Church Port Albert on a weekly basis. Please contact me directly if you are inter- ested in joining this amazing groups;=c if you need more information. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!
