MOGGY--In memory of Reid who passed away February 20, 1997.
The twentieth of February is drawing near
We realize you’re gone another year
We miss you Dear Dad
And the depth of our sorrow
We cannot tell
Of the one that is gone
That we loved so well
Another year has passed
But our precious memories
Will forever last.
--Sadly missed and always remembered by your family.

MOGGY-In loving memory of a dear son and brother Royce Reid, who passed away July 16th, 1972.
If we had all the world to give
We’d give it, yes, and more.
To hear your voice and see your smile,
And greet you at our door,
But all we can do dear Royce
Is go and tend your grave,
And leave behind tokens of love
To the best son and brothers God ever made.
We would like to think, when life is done
Wherever heaven may be
That you’ll be standing at the door up there
To welcome us in.
Sadly missed and always remembered by, Mom, Dad, brothers Larry, Dallas, Blaine, Marvin and Terry, Sisters-in-law, Mickey and Noella, nephews Devin and Derrick and niece Angela.

MOGGY--In loving memory of a dear son and brother who passed away 30 yrs ago on July 16, 1972.
When evening shades are falling,
And we sit in quiet alone.
To our hearts there comes a longing
If he only could come home
Friends may think we have forgotten
When at times they see us smile,
But they little know the heartache,
Our smiles hide all the while
--Sadly missed by Mom, Dad, brothers Larry, Dallas, Blaine, Marvin & Terry, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Loving you always
Forgetting you never.

MOISE--In loving memory of our beloved son, brother, brother-in-law and uncle Kerry who was taken from us so tragically on September 9, 2007.
We little knew that morning
That God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly
In Death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Tonight the stars are gleaming
On one lonely, silent grave
Where sleeps in dreamless slumber
One we loved but could not save
No one knows the silent heartaches
Only those who have lost can tell
Of the grief that we bear in silence
For the one we loved so well.
May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper so you can hear
We will always miss you and love you
And wish that you were here.
We love you and miss you so much. Mom and Dad, Debbie, Brian, Staci, Andrew, Cindy, Jerry, Cody and Brooks.

In Loving Memory of William Calder MONTGOMERY who departed this life October 26, 1919.
One year has passed since that sad day
That our dear babe was called way,
And the one that thinks of him today,
Is the one that loved him best.
It’s not the tears of the moment shed
That tell how beloved are the souls that have fled,
But the tears through many a long night wept,
And the sad remembrance so fondly kept.
Sleep on beloved one! Sleep and take thy rest;
Thou wer’t snatched from mother’s breast,
But mother will come to thee soon.
-Mother

MONTGOMERY--In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather, William James (Bill), who passed away September 26, 2001.
Memories don't fade away, they just grow deep
For the one we loved, but couldn't keep.
We hold our tears when we speak your name
But unseen, unheard, you are always near,
So loved, so missed, so very dear.
The ache in our hearts remains the same
We laugh, we smile, we play our parts
But behind it all, lie broken hearts.
Treasure him always.
--Sadly missed by Randy, friend Sandy, Ruth and Terry Sagle, Paul and Lisa, Bill, Mary and Mario De Paolis, grandchildren, Patricia and Mike, Mitchell Kenley and Marina.

O Thou Most Glorious Lord!
The True God, make this little maid servant of Thine blessed and happy. Cause her to be cherished at the threshold of Thy Oneness. And let her drink deep from the cup of Thy love so that she may be filled with rapture and ecstasy, and diffuse sweet scented fragrance. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful and Thou art the All-Knowing, All-Seeing. In the name of your Son, Christ Jesus. Amen.
Cherished and poignantly missed by Mom Catherine Monti and sister Nadia Hluszko.

MOODY Charles Everett, In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather who was taken from us so suddenly June 27th, 1977
What we would give if we could say
“Hello”, Dad, in the same old way
To hear your voice, see your smile
To sit with you and chat awhile
So you who have a father
Cherish him with care
For you’ll never know the heartache
Till you see his vacant chair
Lovingly remembered by Pat, Ted, Donna, Dale, Chuck, Esther, Joanne & Gerry, and grandchildren Rodney, Ryan and Andrea.

In the home where you used to be

Your memory will never grow old

All to myself I think of you,
Think of the things we used to do,
Think of the things we used to say,
Think of each happy bygone day,
Sometimes I sigh and sometimes I smile,
But I keep each olden, golden smile,
All to myself.

The days are long, the nights are dark
Since I am all alone.
As I was left four years ago,
The night God took you home.
The hills are long and hard to climb
Since you went away,
But God is good and friends are kind
Till we meet again one day.
I love you, your loving wife, Lily.

As time goes on without you,
And days turn into years,
They hold a million memories
And a thousand silent tears.

I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Always missed and remembered by your loving wife Lily.

MORROW--In memory of Kathleen Morrow, who passed away December 6, 2004.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I must say good-bye and leave you all.
I have found peace at the close of the day
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you sunshine for tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savoured much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now - He set me free.
Remembered by son Ralph, daughter Nancy, and their families.
