Memorials

BIE--In loving memory of Mike Bie who passed away on March 3, 2004.
Nothing can dim your handsome face
Nor the memory of your smile
The wonderful things you said and did
That made our lives worthwhile.
The friendship and joy you generously gave
To everyone you knew
Since you were taken from us
We long to let you know
How proud we were that you were ours
And that we love you so.
We will miss you forever and always. Darlene, Joel, and Janel.

BIE--In loving memory of Mikey who slipped away quietly one year ago on March 3.
Remember him with a smile today
He was not one for tears.
Reflect instead on memories
Of many happy years.
Recall to mind the way he spoke,
Of all the things he said;
His strength, his jokes
The way he laughed--
Remember those instead.
Sadly missed by your friends Allen and Linda.

BIE--In loving memory of Mike Bie who slipped away quietly two years ago on March 3, 2004.
Remember him with a smile today
The memories do not fade
There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear
But always the precious memories
Of days when you were here.
We hold you close to our hearts.
We will miss you forever and always. Darlene, Joel, Janel.

BLACKBURN--In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother, who left us July 4, 1980.
Dear Lord, please take a message
To our loved one up above.
Tell her how much we miss her
And give her all of our Love.
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
A day we do not think of you
Is very hard to find.
They say that time heals all sorrows
And helps us to forget.
But time so far has only shown
How much we miss you yet.
God give us strength to bear it,
And the courage to stand the blow,
For what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches could make a lane,
We walk the pathway to Heaven,
And bring you home again.
--Remembered by husband Lloyd, son Tom and his wife Robin, granddaughters Kerry and Cassie.

BLACKBURN--In memory of, John Lenard, who passed away January 28, 1999.
He will be remembered
A remarkable man is gone now.
And the world seems a little
Lessened somehow.
It helps to know that he
Will never be forgotten by those
Whose lives he touched.
His life's work stands as
A monument to his memory and
Brings comfort.
We miss you tea-party papa.
--Remembered by Anne, Lorne, Brad, Connie, Kyra, Kelly Leeson and Angela, Kerry, Kurtis, and Zachary Bowerman.
