Memorials

CRANNEY--In loving memory of Bob Cranney, who passed away July 5, 2000.
It's been a year since you've been gone,
And every day you're missed so much.
You always put a smile on someone's face
With jokes and stories of your earlier times
Even those songs you'd sometimes sing
No matter where you were
You left so suddenly and without warning
That we had no chance to say good-bye
Even though we know you're in a better place,
It hurts so much to have you gone.
We will see you again when our journey
On this earth is done.
--Sadly missed and always loved by Joan, Sean, Deb and Jeff and grandchildren Santanna, Justin, Tyson and Dylan.

CRANSTON, FRED-In loving memory of a dear brother who passed way August 9, 2004.
Please wrap your arms
Around Fred, Lord.
Give him a great big hug.
Tell him how much I miss him
And remind him how much he's loved.
Lovingly remembered by Nan

CRESS--In loving memory of Allan Daniel (Danny), January 15, 1955 - March 11, 2007.
We watched you suffer
Heard you sigh
And all we could do
Was stand by.
But when the time came,
We suffered too.
You never deserved
What you went through.
God took your hand
We had to part.
He eased your pain
But broke our hearts.
Although we smile
And seem carefree
No one misses you
More than we.
Lovingly remembered by Anita and Philippe.

CUNNING--In memory of a loving Mom and grandmother, Joyce Cunning, who passed away March 1, 1976.
If I had all the world to give,
I’d give it, yes, and more
To hear her voice, see her smile
And greet her at the door.
But all I can do, dear Mother
Is go and tend your grave,
And leave behind tokens of love
To the best mother God made.
I like to think when live is done,
Wherever heaven may be,
She’ll be standing at the door
Up there to welcome me.
You are sadly missed and always remembered. Love, Tom and Jackie and grandchildren Melissa, Michelle and Cory.

CUNNING--In memory of a loving Dad and grandpa, David Cunning, who passed away March 13, 2007.
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone;
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You are sadly missed and always remembered. Love, Tom, Jackie and grandchildren Melissa, Michelle and Cory.

In loving memory of Jackie Currie, October 14, 2006
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering…
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us…
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats.
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity.
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made
To let us have the very best!
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared.
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude for all the things you did,
We’re thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us!!
Missing you more every day,
Love from,
Mike, Ed, Michelle and Chrystal

CYWINK, DENNIS A. “FLINT”
November 1959-August 1976
It's twenty-five years
since the Lord called you home,
I know in my heart
you're not alone.
Your name is still mentioned
with laughter and smiles,
And the pranks you pulled
and all your wiles.
You were a really great brother
and a son of a gun,
A true best friend with
a passion for fun.
You're still remembered
after all these years,
And always loved through
the silent tears.
I thank God for the
times we shared,
And I'll never forget how
you always cared....
Amen

In the Spirit and Honour of
SONYA NADINE MAY CYWINK
August 19, 1963-August 30, 1994
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

CYWINK--In loving memory of Susan (nee Pitawanakwat), who crossed over March 19, 1996.
Dear Mom, you were so much. You were a wife, mother, daughter, sister, brother, cuzzin, friend, auntie, chum, grandma, great-grandma, great-auntie and all around great lady. (Owner of Chopper dogs and Durrr cats).
I'm not pussyfooting around or mish-mashing pretty words, the fact is, we miss you--and we always will. Will the circle be unbroken? And so it was--or not.
And then you know what? I got really frightened, and after much struggle (of my own madness) I remembered you and about the time you told me about your good friend Jesus Christ.
All this makes me smile, because it gives me a sense of security and love. Thank you Mom and Thank you Jesus.
Love always and God Bless us one and all,
--Brenda Lee--

CYWINK - In loving memory of Wm. Henry Cywink Sr., July 15, 1933 - September 14, 2006.
You worked for the CP Rail
Suzy-Q was your quail
You liked Hank Williams & gardening too
Potatoes, pork chops & Irish stew.
I never noticed the gruff exterior
They said you had
They must have mistook you
For some other Dad.
I always saw a handsome man,
Stubborn, strong & fair.
A man so full of life with
A certain amount of flair.
For those who knew better
Would very much agree
You did smile a lot
But not constantly.
Sure, you loved to laugh and
Often shared a joke or two
Yet, you hid your feelings deep inside
When you were sad and blue.
I won’t sugar coat the disappointments
You surely did endure.
But “always ready to give”, well,
That’s just a lot of manure.
Thoughtfulness, yes, was a big part of you
Many took advantage, this I know is true.
What you told, already came to pass,
I’ve not got my tiller
To break my grass.
Still, all in all, I thank the Lord
For all that I had
Because Billie-Buck you were
One heck of a Dad.
When my sun sets and I get
The Big call home
I’ll meet you there in the
Circle at the throne.
Love, your right hand girl,
Brenda Lee.
