IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, FRIEDA HEAD, who passed away February 24, 1996.
Sad are the hearts that love you,
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our lives without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone,
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we are all together
But with the love within our hearts,
You will walk with us forever.
-Ever loved, never forgotten, Harry and Family

HEISE-- In memory of Boyne Heise who left us on July 19, 2000, husband, father, "Popa"
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
When God took you home.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
But there's an ache within our hearts,
That will never go away.
We think of you as living,
In every heart you touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And you are loved so much.
Love Verna and family

HEMBRUFF--In loving memory of a dear husband, father, and grandfather, Don Hembruff, who left us on June 27, 2008.
We do not think of you as gone,
Your journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just thinking of you as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days and years.
Thinking of you as living,
In the hearts of those you touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And you are loved so much.
Lovingly remembered by Norma, Brenda and Doug, Karla and Gerald, Geoffrey and Joel.

HEMBRUFF--In loving memory of my dear husband and best friend Nolan, who left this world March 27, 1997.
Along the road of yesterday
I met a man I loved
He was kind and gentle
His love, always a bit above
I thought we’d live forever
Or to a ripe old age
But God had other plans for us
And turned another page
We may not walk together
Nor hold hands and laugh
But he is in my heart
And will be to the last
On the day God reaches out
And says, “It’s time to go.”
I’ll walk that road to yesterday
Once again to meet my love.
--Sadly missed every day, but always in my heart
Love you always, Betty

HEMBRUFF--In loving memory of my beloved husband Nolan, who passed away five years ago March 27, 1997.
We made our vows together,
And said till death do us part,
When God came and took your hand,
My whole world fell apart.
No one knows the heartache,
I try so hard to hide,
But when I look back upon our lives,
Just one thing makes glad,
That you chose me to share with you,
The precious years we had,
I miss you and love you forever.
"And from life's shining circle the gem's gently droppeth away."
--Sadly missed by wife Betty.

Morning dawns, night returns,
And I still think of you,
Many a silent tear is shed,
When I am all alone,
For the one I loved so much,
The one I called my own,
You were a loving husband,
A friend so good and true,
A better husband never lived,
I miss you and always will.

Far in heaven up above,
I know you are watching me with love,
Each twinkling star I see at night
Seems to tell me you're alright.
You left me, but with special things
Called wonderful memories
Which your life did bring
These I will cherish, they will not go away,
Because you're still with me
In so many ways.
Sadly missed and always loved, your wife, Betty.

From the tree of life,
Each leaf must fall.
The green, the gold,
The great, the small.
Each one in God's time
He'll call,
With perfect love,
He gathers all.

HEMBRUFF--In loving memory of my beloved husband, Nolan Hembruff, who passed away March 27, 1997.
Time speeds on,
Ten years has passed
Since death its gloom,
Its shadow cast.
Within our home where all seemed bright
And took from me a shining light.
I miss that light, and ever will,
His vacant place there's none to fill.
Down here I mourn but not in vain,
For up in heaven we'll meet again.
Forever in my heart, Betty.

Your cheerful smile, your heart of gold
You were the best this world could hold
never selfish, always kind
These are the memories you left behind
While you sleep a peaceful sleep
Fond memories of you, we will always keep
No verse, no flowers, no tears can say
How much we miss you everyday
If we could have one lifetime wish
One dream that could come true
We'd ask with all our hearts
For yesterday and you.
Sadly missed and always remembered by Jim, Pat, Kevin, Connie, Murray, Dana, Kristen, Tyler and McKayla.

HEMBRUFF--In loving memory of Vera Emily Hembruff who passed away June 6, 2000.
God looked around his garden and saw an empty space
He took a look around the earth and saw your suffering face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful, cause he only takes the best.
The years have passed so quickly and still we miss you, Mom, Grama and Great Grama. Jim, Pat and families.
