BOCK, Winnifred—In loving memory of my dear wife who passed away June 1, 1979.
It’s one long year since that sad day,
When the one so loved was called away.
Our hearts still ache with sadness,
And lonely tears still flow.
How it hurt for her to leave us
No one will ever know.
Because she went so suddenly.
Her thoughts were all unknown.
But she left many beautiful memories
We are justly proud to own.
--Lovingly remembered by husband, Melvin

BOCK-Winnifred—in loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother.
We had a mother with a heart of gold,
Who was more to us than wealth untold;
Without farewell she fell asleep
With only memories for us to keep.

How we miss the welcome footsteps,
Of the one we loved so dear
Often we listen for her coming, fully sure
That she is near,
Thou art gone, but not forgotten,
Fresh our love will ever be
For as long as there is memory
We will always think of thee

BOND-In loving memory of a dear mother and wife Bernice who passed away February 18, 1970.
No farewell was spoken,
No time to say good-bye
You had gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
We will always remember the way you walked and smiled,
The things you always said and did are with us all the while.
You lived your life for those you loved,
And those you love remember
Life goes on we know that's true,
But not the same since we lost you.
Always, remembered and sadly missed by husband Howard and Family.

When the world is fast asleep
I take a walk down memory lane
With tears upon my cheeks.

Are worth their weight in gold.

Are mine to have and to hold.

And there you will remain.
To walk with me, throughout my life
Until we meet again.

And with goodbyes left unspoken
You gently passed away.

Help to soothe our hearts

May the winds of love blow softly,
And whisper so you can hear.
We will always love and miss you,
And wish that you were here.
For all that life has given us,
And all that's left to do,
We'll know no greater treasure,
Than the days we had with you.
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone,
We could always count on you.
Special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts,
You will walk with us forever.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather and great grandfather, Alvin, who passed away April 21, 2000.
When family ties are broken,
And loved ones have to part.
It leaves a wound that won't heal,
Deep in our hearts.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
Missing you is a heartache,
Which never goes away.
Thinking of you in silence,
No eyes will see us weep.
Many silent tears are still shed,
While others are asleep.
Our lives will go on,
But nothing will ever be the same.
--Sadly missed by John and Sharon and family.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of a dear husband, Alvin, who passed away April 21, 2000.
In a quiet country graveyard,
Where the gentle breezes blow,
Lies the one we love so much,
Whom we lost two years ago.
His resting place we visit,
And put flowers there with care,
But no one knows the sorrow,
As we turn and leave him there.
If our tears could build a stairway,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven,
And bring him home again.
If we had the world to give,
We'd give it yes and more,
To hear his voice and see his smile,
And greet him at the door.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
And cherish our beautiful memories,
To help us ease the pain.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of Grant Bowerman, December 23, 2003.
God saw you were getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So He closed His arms around you
And whispered, "Come to Me."
Your golden heart stopped beating,
Your gentle hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
In tears, we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
What you suffered, you told few
You didn't deserve what you went through.
Tired and helpless, you made no fuss,
And tried so hard to stay with us.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
We could not wish you back to suffer again.
Always remembered, Merv, Sarah, Sam and Dex.

It's called a bridge of love
As time goes on without you

To us you were very special
What more is there to say,
Except to wish with all our hearts,
That you were here today.

BOWERMAN-In loving memory of Millie, who passed away April 7, 1985. Easter Sunday.
So quietly did you slip away
On our dear Lord's Resurrection Day
The ache of losing you lingers on
But having had you as my mother
Helps me to face each new dawn.
--Fondly remembered, dearly loved,
Mamie Ann.

BOWERMAN, Millie--April 7, 1985
Many years have passed
Since I watched you slip away,
Your face no longer do I see
But the memories of you are so clear
In everyone I hold so dear
I thank God for you mother
You are like none other.
Forever loved, forever missed,
Mamie Ann

Although twenty years have come and gone since I watched you slip away, I can't remember a day that you haven't been in my thoughts. So many times I want to tell or ask you something. How I thank God for allowing me to have you as my Mother for many years and also for the memories of you since you went to be with Him.
Always loved, forever missed, Mamie Ann.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of Millie R. Bowerman, April 7, 1985. Memories are gifts to us from God when our loved one is no longer with us.
Remembering Mother:
Helping to bring a new life into the world, human and animal.
Helping when a life had ended.
Having a wonderful supper ready when getting home from school.
Getting the fire going to warm up the neighbouring school boys.
Making bread, biscuits and cookies.
Thank God for memories and Thank God for you Mother. Always loved, always missed, Mamie Ann.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of William Bowerman, a dear father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away July 23, 2002.
There is a bridge of memories
From here to heaven above
That keeps you very close to us
It's called a bridge of love
As time goes on without you
And days turn into years,
They hold a million memories
And a thousand silent tears.
To us you were very special
What more is there to say,
Except to wish with all our hearts,
That you were here today.
Lovingly remembered by his daughters Joy, Bonnie and Marilyn and their families.

His helping hand was always first
To render any aid he could;

Dear father since you've gone away,
The ones you loved so true,
Try hard to carry on the way
We know you'd want us to.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, William (Bill), who left us suddenly on July 23, 2002.
The moment that you died,
Our hearts split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
We often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
We hold you tightly within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.
For those who still have their dads,
Treat him with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and he is not there.
Lovingly remember by your daughter Marilyn, son-in-law Jim, grandchildren Marilee, Mallory and Mitchell, and great-grandson Landen.

BOWERMAN--In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, William (Bill), who left us suddenly on July 23, 2002.
It's so strange that those we need
And those we love the best,
Are just the ones God called away
And took them home to rest,
But every time we think of Dad,
We seem to hear God say,
Have faith and trust my promise
You'll meet again some day.
Lovingly remembered by your daughter Marilyn, son-in-law Jim, grandchildren Marilee, Mallory and Mitchell, and great-grandchildren Landen and Hailee.

BOYD-In loving memory of a dear mother, Phronia who passed away November 11, 1970.
A wonderful mother, woman and aid;
One who was better, god never made,
A wonderful worker, loyal and fair,
Tenderly helpful, O mother you were.
Just in your judgment, always right,
Hones and liberal, ever upright,
Loved by all, our pride they share,
Pride in the wonderful one you were.
Sadly missed by sons Doran and Don.

BOYTER, Henrietta-In loving memory of our dear mother and grandmother, who passed away April 18th, 1976.
What would we give if we could say,
“Hell Mom” “Hi Grandma”
In the same old way,
To hear your voice and see your smile,
And sit with you and chat a while.
You are not forgotten Mother,
Nor will you ever be,
You lived your life for those you loved,
And those you loved remember.
Sadly missed and always loved by Robert, Sadie and Nathan
