(Memoriam) WOODFORD In Loving Memory of Gary We don't need a day to remember his soul Only love and compassion to fill this hole With the weight of this day Burned into our minds We still find the strength To put it behind With the memory not lost But not vivid either The strength of a family Who will always be there Lovingly remembered by your family and friends 313339 Published in the Victoria Times-Colonist on 11/9/2006.
