HILL- In loving memory of Barbara (Nichols) Hill, January 2, 2007.
Your Heart is Your Garden
Your heart is like your garden
Old fashioned, quaint and sweet
With here a wealth of blossoms
And there a still retreat
Sweet violets are hiding
We know as we pass by
And lilies pure as angel thoughts
Are opening somewhere nigh.
Forget-me-nots there linger
To full perfection brought
And there bloom purple pansies
In many a tender thought
There loves' own roses blossom
As from enchanted ground
And lavish perfume exquisite
The whole glad year around.
And in the quiet garden
The garden of your heart
Songbirds are always singing
Their songs of cheer apart
And from it floats forever
Overcoming sin and strife
Sweet as the breath of roses blown
The fragrance of your life.
Donald Hore 2005.
Love from Bonnie, Wendy, Carol, Melody, Allison, Ean and families.

HILLSON--In loving memory of Katherine "Kay" Hillson, dear wife of the late Maxwell "Bud" Hillson, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother who passed away December 20, 1996.
In a quiet country cemetery,
Where the gentle breezes blow,
Lies the one we love so dearly,
Whom we lost four years ago.
In a matter of seconds you were taken,
From the ones you loved and loved you,
Thoughts of you are always near,
Your laughter we can still hear.
Many think the wounds are healed,
But little know the pain we feel
Your strength and courage were like none we've seen
Now you come to us only in our dreams
So for you, we will keep your memory alive forever,
Until we are all together again
God's garden must be beautiful
Because he only takes the best
And that is you.
We love and miss you.
--Bernadine, Kevin, Eddy, Maxine, Roseanne, Robbie.
Your Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

HILLSON, Maxwell Alexander--In loving Memory of Maxwell Alexander "Bud" Hillson who passed away at the age of 77 years. Husband of the late Katherine "Kay" (Turieck), July 4, 1999.
You had a smile for everyone
You had a heart of gold
You left the sweetest memories
This world could ever hold
No one knows how much we miss you
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost you
Life has never been the same
Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard but always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear
A father's legacy is not riches
possessions or worldly goods
It's the way he lived
the lives he touched, the promises he kept
It's the man he was
Your life Dad was a job well done
and now you have left us to be with Mom.
Loving father of: Bernadine, husband Phillip Harris of Ottawa, Maxine, husband Ronald Alberts of London, Edward of Little Current, Roseanne of Calgary, Kevin of Little Current.
