Her memory is our keepsake, With which we'll never part, God has her in His keeping, We have her in our heart. - Sadly missed and lovingly remem- bered by James, Gwen, Mike and Sherry 46-13x1 HUGILL, Alma: In loving memory of a very dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother who passed away two years ago, March 26, 2002 You who have a mother, Love her while you may, You'll never know her value, Till she's laid beneath the clay. To a good lite came a peaceful end, She died as she lived, everyone's friend. Upright and just in all her ways, Loving and kind to the end of her days. We saw you suffer, heard you sigh, We could do nothing but sit close by. We have lost, but Heaven has gained, One of the best mothers the world contained. - Lovingly remembered and forever in our hearts Marty and Janice, James and Lyn, Ted and Leanne and Family 46-13-1 HUGILL, Alma: In loving memory of our sister Alma Hugill who passed away two years ago, March 26, 2002.

Our lives go on without you, And nothing seems the same, We have to hide our heartache, 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. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not retum, When we were all together, But your love within our hearts, Will remain with us forever. - Remembered and sadly missed by your wife, family, grandchildren and great grandchildren 46-13x1 47 Cards of Thanks McCLURE Sincere thank you to Dr. A.
