GRAHAM--In loving memory of the dearest wife, mother and grandmother, Jessie Graham, who passed away September 15, 2005.
God saw she was getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around her,
And whispered, "Come with me.
"With tearful eyes we watched her suffer,
And saw her slip away,
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
Forever in our hearts and thoughts, Floyd, Nancy, Bob, Greg, Brad, Deb, Daryl, Rebecca, Caleb, Josh, Amanda, Jordan, Zac, Blair, Sandy, Mason, Wendy, Gerry, Jordan and Chris.

Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

GREEN-In loving memory of our dear parents, Charles - December 4, 1981, Edna - July 13, 1984, sister Norma - July 30, 1973, brothers Ronnie - September 4, 1971, Roy (Squirt) April 7, 2003.
This morning when we woke
And saw the sun above
We softly said "Good Morning, Lord, Bless everyone we love,"
We thought of them and said a loving prayer
That He would bless them and keep them in His care.
As each tomorrow starts without them
We try to understand
That an angel came and called their names
And took them by the hand.
As each tomorrow starts without them
We're never far apart
Daily thoughts and little reminders
Keep them forever in our hearts.
Forever missed, but remembered daily by
Linda, Ron and family, Gary, Nicole and family.

Our hearts are like a memory book
Its pages are very dear
They hold our loving thoughts of you
Recorded year by year.
A book of golden yesterdays
Bound with love and care
A very rare edition
Keeping treasured memories there.
Forever missed by Linda, Ron and family, Gary, Nicole and family.

GREEN, Roy--In memory of Roy Green who passed away April 7, 2003.
It seems like forever,
But only a year has passed.
It hardly seems fair that our time together
Has come and gone so fast.
Closer and closer together we grew,
And seems like it has come to an end,
But, we realize this is not true,
As we are left with the memories of my friend.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day
But missing you is the hardest thing
That never goes away.
As each and every day goes by
We can't help but sit and wonder why,
From us was taken,
A loving Husband, exceptional Father and Grandfather,
A Friend you could always depend on,
And all around great guy.
Missed deeply but never forgotten.
Love Darlene, Lori, and Terry, Braedan and Brady, Jeff and Tanya, Derek and Lesley

GREEN, Squirt--In loving memory of a dear uncle, who passed away April 7, 2003.
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.
There will always be an emptiness,
And often a silent tear,
But always precious memories of the days
When you were here.
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone,
We could always turn to you.
Those special years will not return,
When we were all together,
But with the love that's in our hearts,
You will walk with us forever.
We love you and miss you, Leeanne, Dean, Bryce and Peyton

GREEN, Roy (Squirt)--In loving memory of our dear Brother and Uncle "Squirt" Roy Green who suddenly entered his Heavenly Home on April 7, 2003 and was welcomed by our aunts, Charles and Edna, sister Norma and brother Ronnie.
Dear Squirt:
We share many secrets, the same Mom and Dad
We shared lots of good times and tried not to think of the bad
Our memories we will treasure with love without end
We're so glad you were OUR brother Squirt, and also our friend.
God looked down one year ago
And why he chose you
Only He must know
We were not prepared
We did not know
That on that day
You'd have to go
So many things
Still left for you to do
But there we were
Asking God "why you?"
But a special gift
God left us on that day
To help us with the sorrow
That he knew would remain with us each day
Though you are gone Squirt
The love, friendship and memories we shared
Is the gift left forever
For those of us who loved you and cared
God Bless
Remembered and thought of daily as we travel the roads that you
looked after for so many years insuring our safety.
Linda, Ron and family
Gary, Nicole and family

Silent are the tears that fall

A place that is within our hearts
That only you could own.
Nothing can be more beautiful
Than the memories we have of you.
To us you were very special
And God must have thought so, too.
Remembering you today and every day with love, Linda, Ron and family, Gary, Nicole and family.

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent you are ever near,
Still missed, still loved, forever dear.
Softly the leaves of memory fall,
Gently we gather, treasure them all,
Some may forget now that you're gone,
We will remember no matter how long.
Always loved by Darlene, Lori, Jeff, Derek and families.

It has been two years since we last saw you,
We know you see everything we do,
We try really hard to make you proud,
We think we see you in the crowd,
We hope you’re happy in your new place,
Cause we remember the smile on your face,
We know you are still with us every single day,
And we wouldn’t have it any other way!

GREENWAY-In loving memory of Capt. John and Lillian Greenway.
Sea Fever
I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
And I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song
And the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face
And a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again
To the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way,
Where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn
From a laughing fellow rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream
When the long trick's over.
--Sadly missed, but remain always in our hearts.
Loretta, Eleanor, Jack and Family.

GREENWAY-In loving memory of Capt. John and Lillian Greenway.
"One of the greatest gifts that life can give to anyone is the very special love that families share. There are countless things that one family have in common and memories that no one else can make.
God blessed us with two very special parents who taught us to love, to smile, to care, to share and the precious ties that bind a family together. These are bonds that time and distance cannot separate."
--Always remaining in our hearts with love.
Loretta, Eleanor, Jack and Families.
