DROLET--In loving memory of Frank, who passed away July 20, 1991. Dear husband of Irene (deceased).
Those we love must someday pass beyond or present sight…
Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle, their lovely light will shine to brighten up another place more perfect…
More divine
And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright,
Our loved ones live forever more in God’s eternal light.
--Sadly missed and always lovingly remembered.
By Marg, Bob, Dan & Heather.

Those we hold most dear never truly leave us
They live on in the kindness they showed

And the love they brought into our lives.

Dearly loved and never forgotten, you are forever in our hearts.
Sincerely, Margaret, Bob, Heather, Dan and Sara, Kelsey

DROLET--In loving memory of Frank Drolet.
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grieve;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love
Time is eternity.
By Henry Van Dyke.
Frank Drolet, beloved Grandad of Heather and Dan McDonald.
Son-in-law and friend Bob McDonald.

DROLET--In loving memory of Irene, who passed away March 2, 1999.
We can’t know why some things happen but we can know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief.
And we can know that there’s a place inside the heart where love lives always…
And where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten.

DUNLOP--In loving memory of Nancy, who passed away March 5, 2006
In a quiet little graveyard
Not very far away
Lies a mother and a wife
Who we lost two years ago today.
We remember her smile
And her heart of gold
She was the dearest lady
The world could ever hold.
Her memory is our keepsake
For which we'll never part
God has you in his keeping
But we hold you in our heart.
Lovingly remembered by Chris, Karen and Karla.

DUNLOP--In memory of Nancy Dunlop who passed away March 5, 2006.
It is sad to walk the road alone,
Instead of side by side,
But to all there comes a moment,
When the ways of life divide.
You gave me years of happiness,
Then came sorrow and tears,
But you left me beautiful memories
, I will treasure through the years.
Missed by Chris, Karen and Karla.

DUNLOP--In memory of a dear loving husband, Roy Dunlop, who left us on February 11, 1971.
It was such a horrible shock.
There are those who remember
Your kindness and unconditional love.
Your drive and ambition to succeed on your own
Despite the fact that you were very sick.
There are those who remember your voice and your smile.
They were reassured that there was always tomorrow.
There are those that remember your face.
Your belief and willingness to defend.
There are those that remember you said that
Despite all your misgivings remember to forgive yourself.
Save some room in your heart for you and never forget
To appreciate your life and the life you give.
I know that you did not walk away.
You're beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always there.
Still loved and missed by Ruth and John and Ruth's family.

DURDLE--In fond and loving memory of Jane who left her home and family twelve years ago on the twelfth of August, 1989.
Perhaps if we could see
The splendour of the land
To which our loved are called
You and me we'd understand
Perhaps if we could hear
The welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear
We would not grieve
Perhaps if we could know
The reasons why they went
We'd smile and wipe away
The tears that flow
Perhaps then we all could wait content
--Forever loved and cherished by her son Justin Durdle and mom "Doreen" Taylor.
Manitoulin Expositor, August 22, 2001

IN MEMORY--In fond and loving memory of mother and dad, Robert and Nina (Pipher) Eadie, my grandson Brent Collins, January 20 1989, Jane DURDLE, August 12, 1989, John Eadie, April 23, 1990, William L. Taylor, April 28, 2004.
They are not gone, these loved ones whom we mourn.
We must not think of them as far away.
Into a fuller life have they been born.
Laying aside the vesture of this day
These sweet souls around us watch us still
When troubles come, press closer to our side.
Into our thoughts and into our prayers each day
On wings of love with gentle helping guide
Yet near us still they watch and love and know.
We are the blind ones who no longer see
Be loved forms that softly come and go
Waiting reunion in eternity.
--Forever loved and never forgotten, Doreen Witty.

DUXBURY--In memory of a Special Wife and Mother, Janet, who left us suddenly June 13, 1999.
It's ironic how the summer sun,
Brings back all the pain;
How a month that should be so much fun,
Returns each year in vain.
Three years ago you left us here,
In shock and all alone;
Still each day we shed a tear,
Your name seen carved in stone.
A dedicated wife and mother,
No one else could compare;
You cared for us like no other,
Making our loss so hard to bear.
Now you are a real angel,
Watching us from above;
But on earth you were an angel,
Who filled our home with love.
Our lives will never be the same,
You left an empty space;
But each one of us carries you with us,
In a very special place.
--You're always in our hearts.
Love Dale, April and Aaron.
Manitoulin Expositor, June 12, 2002

DUXBURY--In loving memory of a dear sister and aunt, Janet, who passed away June 13, 1999.
Three years have passed since you have gone
But yet time seems to pass so slow
The hardest part to understand
Is why you had to go.
We'll always love and miss you
Memories help to see us through
We've locked them deep within our hearts
A special section just for you.
You were my little sister
And that you will always be,
A part of me has gone with you,
But part of you remains with me.
--Always with us,
Lori, Matthew, Leanne, Christy, Mike, Connor, Mandy and Becky.
Manitoulin Expositor, June 26, 2002

DUXBURY, Janet--In memory of a loving wife and mother, Janet Dub, who we lost suddenly June 13, 1999.
If roses grown in Heaven Lord,
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.
Tell her we love and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek,
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
We do it everyday,
But there's an ache within our hearts,
That will never go away.
For five years we've been without her,
A sister and a brother.
We hope she's looking down on us,
Proud to be our mother.
Mom, we carry you with us in our hearts always. Love, April, Aaron and Dale.
Manitoulin Expositor, June 9, 2004

DUXBURY, Janet--In loving memory of a dear sister and aunt who left us suddenly on June 13, 1999.
Each day my thoughts still wander
To the way life used to be
What I wouldn't give to have that back
To have you here with your family.
Isn't it strange,
How this life goes.
We never thought of dying,
Or even growing old.
Sometimes I still get angry
And sometimes I just smile and think
Of all the fun we had.
Even though five years have passed
It seems like yesterday
I still miss and love you Janet
In every single way.
You will always be with us! Lori, Matthew, Leanne, Noah, Christy, Mike, Connor, Mandy, Becky, Ryan, and Ella.

DUXBURY--In Memory of a Wonderful Mom Janet Duxbury Who We Lost Suddenly June 13, 1999.
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grew old;
He made your smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded your heart of pure gold;
In your eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In your cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me
. As time goes by without you,
And the days turn into years,
They hold a million memories,
And a thousand silent tears.
To me you were so special,
What more is there to say.
Except I wish with all my heart,
That you were here today!
There will always be this heartache,
And often a silent tear.
I shall cherish those precious memories,
Of the days when you were here.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day.
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
You will forever be remembered, and will remain always in our hearts. Love, April and Aaron.

DUXBURY--In remembrance of a loving mother and friend, Janet Duxbury, who we lost suddenly June 13, 1999.
We always took for granted,
what we thought we'd never lose.
Because we never thought it would happen,
until we heard the dreaded news.
They say you were chosen for His garden,
His preciously hand-picked bouquet.
"God really needed her,
That's why she couldn't stay."
Saying goodbye is never easy,
It's the hardest thing to do.
But what hurts us even more
Is not the chance to have said it to you.
So today, God, as you are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find our Mom,
And give her all our love!
--You are missed dearly but will be with us always, Love April & Aaron
Manitoulin Expositor, June 14, 2006

DUXBURY--In loving memory of our dear mother Janet Duxbury who we lost suddenly June 13, 1999.
Though tears in our eyes don't always glisten,
And our faces are not always sad,
There is never a night or morning
That we don't think of the mother we had.
So many things have happened since you've gone,
Graduations, new jobs and weddings
But we knew you were looking down on us,
And wishing us those new beginnings.
Not a day do we forget you
In our hearts you are always here,
For we love you and still miss you
As we reach the tenth year.
Always in our hearts, April and Aaron.
