MCLEOD - The family of the
late Marguerite McLeod (nee
Peat) wishes to extend the
deepest thanks to all who
showed so much kindness,
caring and support through
such a difficult time.
Through your flowers and
cards, donations and your
loving presence throughout
her illness and her visitation
and service you have shown
us that Marguerite was a part
of countless lives in our com-
munity and beyond, and will
never be forgotten. We offer
special thanks to the dedicat-
ed and caring medical staff of
London Health Sciences
Centre (University Hospital
location) and of South Huron
Hospital. Cam and Judy
McLeod generously opened
their home, and together with
the considerate and capable
team from the Community
Care Access Centre, brought
dignity and respect to
Marguerite during her illness.
We'd like to thank Haskett's
for their compassion and pro-
fessionalism in our time of
loss, and the Rev. Alun
Thomas, of the Legion for a
touching and beautiful ser-
vice honouring Marguerite.
Thank you to the ladies of the
Legion, also, for their heart-
felt contributions at the lun-
cheon after the service. It is
a great comfort to us to see
how much each of you were
touched by Marguerite and to
know that so many people
will remember and continue
Mom, Gran and Great
Granny's legacy of love and
laughter. (5*)

Where can we possibly start?
There are literally 1000's of
you to thank. First of all a
special thank you to
Constable Jeff Adkin and to
Detective Ralph Christmas,
for understanding from the
start something was terribly
wrong Thanks to the profes-
sional and volunteer pilots,
who aided in the search. The
OPP dive team, and hundreds
of volunteers young and old
who helped us find our son.
Special thanks to our staff,
who continued to run our
business, as Ryan would have
loved to see. Also to Ryan's
friends who helped in many
ways, especially with stories
of Ryan that brought us much
joy. Thank you to those of
you who made donations,
provided the wonderful food,
those of you who sent flow-
ers, card, e-mails and those
who came to be with us for
support. Many of you did all
of the above. Thank you to
the Zion United Church for
handling the Scott Woods

Excellent team work!
Thanks to Hoffman's Funeral
Home for understanding and
