MCALLISTER--In loving memory of Calvin Lloyd McAllister, December 7, 1931 - December 10, 2005.
Miss Me - But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared:
Miss me - but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds:
Miss me - but let me go.
Lovingly remembered by Winnifred (Pattison) McAllister, Debra McAllister and Eric Sheffield, Sharon and Robert Duncan, Terry McAllister and Sharon Field, Michael McAllister and Garry, and Alison McAllister. Also remembered by grandchildren Jeffrey, Gregory, Christopher and Kylie and all his relatives and friends.

May the road rise up to meet you,

Missed by all who knew him, always in our hearts, Winnifred, Debra, Sharon, Terry, Michael and Alison.

McALLISTER--In Memory Of Kay McAllister who passed on December 28th 2006
There was sadness when you left us
You didn't even know our names
Yet you lived your life for only us
Your goal to save us pain.
Your advice was like no other
And you taught us all compassion
"To walk a mile in someone's shoes
Before we judged their actions.
Other word of yours to ponder,
Was "Learn from others mistakes
You cannot live long enough
Them all on your own, to make
And last but not least "do not have fun
At someone else's expense
"It is hurtful and may come back to you
Or one of your loved ones instead
When we would try to help you
Now our turn to care for you
You would always say "It's not the way
It's a mother's job to do.
As you passed on to the other side
Your memories stayed behind
To help us on our life's journey
And pass your wisdom down the line
We love you and we miss you
And when our time has come
To travel to the other side
We'll meet you one by one.
Sadly missed by : Larry, Linda, Jack and Ron and spouses (Shirley Terrie and Peter).

MCALLISTER--In Memory of Grandma and Grandpa
I remember many years ago
When I was just a child
We used to go to my grandparents house
And stay there for a while
With Grandma in the kitchen
Making goodies just for me
And Grandpa working in the fields
As happy as can be
Looking back now on that time
Seemed just a short while ago
I can still see their faces
For they were all aglow
All their Grandchildren were very special
Each in their own way
I'm sure I can speak for all of them
And in our hearts they'll stay.
In Loving Memory of my grandparents: Kay & Gordon McAllister. Sadly missed by Tammy Sequin and also, Anita, Tom, Darcy, Darren, Brad, Becky, Brenna, and great grandchildren Anthony, Johnny, Sarah and Aiden.

It's lonely here without you.
We miss you more each day.

If roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for us
Place them in our Granddaughter's arms
And tell her they're from us.
Tell her we love and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
Because remembering her is easy
We do it every day
But there's an ache within our hearts
That will never go away.
Love you Alicia xxoo
Grandpa and Grandma Dale and Carol McCauley. P.S. Love you Alicia "Bum", Love Uncle Steve. xo

Forever loved, and within our hearts.

No words we can speak can ever say
How much we miss you every day
To hear your voice and see your smile
There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear
But always the precious memories
Of days when you were here
We hold you close to our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us through our lives
Until we meet again.
Loved and missed Grandpa and Grandma (Dale and Caroll McCauley)

We love and miss you so very much Alicia "Chunky Bum".

In a quiet country graveyard
Where gentle breezes blow
Lies the one we love so dearly
Whom we lost four years ago.
Her resting place we visit
And put flowers there with care
But no one knows the sorrow
As we turn and leave her there.
Many things have happened since you've gone Alicia,
Birth - Brother - Ian Jr., August 1, 2007
Wedding - Mommy and Daddy's - June 20, 2009.
But we knew you were looking down on us
And wishing Mom and Dad those new beginnings.
We love you and miss you, "Chunky Bum."
Always in our hearts, Grandma (Carol) and Grandpa (Dale) McCauley xxoo

MCCOLLOCH, Charlie
His smiling way and pleasant face
Are a pleasure to recall;
He had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him. Some day, we know not when,
To clasp his hand in the better land,
Never to part again.
Sunshine fades and shadows fall,
But sweet remembrance outlasts all.
Lovingly, Joyce and family

And many lonely days

Wishing that God had spared you longer
But God knows best.

MCCORMICK-In loving memory of a dear husband and father Mr. John McCormick who passed away August 16th, 1972.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go along
For part of us went with you

But God saw you getting weary
He knew you needed rest
His garden must be beautiful
For he takes only the best.
Always loved and remembered by wife Bertha, Clarence and Annabell, Bill and Mildred, Ada and Ken and grandchildren.

MCCRACKEN- In sad but loving memory of our dear son and brother, Francis Lawrence McCracken, who departed this life August 10th, 1928.
They laid my boy in the casket
And closed his soft grey eyes,
Folded the hands so snowy
As the flower that in them lies,
With a heart that was almost broken
We gazed on that little face
Farewell on a brighter to-morrow
We shall try to meet him by God's grace.
-Sadly missed by Mother, Sister and Brothers.

MCCULLIGH--In loving memory of our mother, Marguerite, September 13, 1973, and step father Herman, November 26, 1966
They tell us angels are singing for you
We know they are because you were so true
We hope you are happy though we miss you
Our home seems so empty without you
We hope at the end of our life
We will meet you in heaven.
Always remembered by daughter Anna Marie, Jack and grandchildren Jack, Melissa and Harold.
Manitoulin Expositor, November 28, 1979

In loving memory of Nettie MCCULLIGH, who departed this life December 16th, 1908.
This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
E’er sin could harm, or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.
Through all pain at times she smiled
A smile of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams long to linger
Where our little Nettie sleeps.

Have you ever had someone
Who meant the world to you?
One you loved so very much
And miss him like we do?
Have you ever had a heartache
Or felt some awful pain
Or shed so many tears
That drop like pouring rain?
If you've never had those feelings
We hope you never do,
For when you lose a Father/Grandfather
You lose a part of you.
So for those of you who still
Have your Father/Grandfather
Please cherish him with all your heart
For you never know
When that awful day will come
And your heart will be torn apart.
We love and miss you Dad/Grandpa
With all of our hearts.
Love, Catherine, Aaron, George, Diane, Ashley, Georgie and Sebatian

Gone but not forgotten
A little tear falls from my eyes
I swallow hard and try not to cry
I think of you so far away
Nine years ago you were taken away
I hope and pray to hear the phone
Just to hear you say one more time
That I am loved and that you are fine.
But on life's road there is no return
A good lesson that I had to learn
To live, love and do
The very way you taught me to.
But dad please remember this
There is not a day that goes by
That I do not look at your picture hanging on my wall
And tell you how much I miss and love you so very much
Miss and loved with all my heart
Love from your daughter Catherine and grandson Aaron.

I’d like to be able to see you,
I’d like to be able to say,
That one little phrase, that everyone says
How are you today?
But since I cannot do that
I’ll picture in my mind
Your big wide smile,
Your bright brown eyes
And your answer “Oh, I’m just fine”
--Sadly missed by Heather, Susan, Larry, Lindsay and Ben
