Clifford 9*) 106 In Memoriam CABLE - Carman Cable, March 5, 2004. A knock at the door late at night. There I greet two officers with news you were gone. No warnings, just gone. Thousands of thoughts race through my mind - How, why, when, childhood memories, But foremost regret. For not making amends for hurt feelings And missing so many moments that should have been shared. Time passes by so quickly anymore; You never know when some- one you love will be gone. I hope all is forgiven and that I've made you proud. In my mind, I'll always feel like "Daddy's Little Girl". We miss you terribly, it's hard to believe a year has gone by. Loved much, always. Ginny & Taylor (9*) 106 In Memoriam DENOMME - In loving memo- ry of Dorene who passed away March 8, 2004. Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have tried to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that loved 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 hearts was kind and true, And when we needed someone We could always count on you. The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever. Until we meet again. Love always, husband Joe and family. (9*) GLAVIN - In loving memory of the best Dad and Grandpa there ever was who passed away 1 year ago March 8, 2004. This past year without you Is the hardest we've ever known, We treasure every thought of you, And keep them as our own. Although we cannot see you You are with us night and day, For the love that was between us Death cannot take away. The next time we will see you Will be at Heaven's Doors You'll be there to greet us And we will cry no more. We'll put our arms around you And kiss your smiling face Then the pieces of our bro- ken hearts Will fall back into place. People tell us we have mem- ories But they don't understand How can we hug a memory Or hold a memory's hand. If tears could build a stair- way And memories a lane We'd walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. Deeply loved and missed by children Paul and Cathy Pavkeje, Tracy and Derek Stockley, Julie and Wayne Urbshott, Chris Glavin and by grandchildren Kristy, Trisha, Joe, Mike, Dan Pavkeje, Paige and Theo Stockley and Kyle Urbshott. (9*) GLOVER - In loving memo- ry of our parents Jim, January 13, 2001 and Murdiena, March 8, 1990. Loved, remembered and longed for always. Loving parents of Barry, Arlene, Linda, Jack, Judi, Peter, Bobbie, Bili and fami- lies. (9*)
