(Memoriam)
Grant Douglas De Patie October 4th, 1980 - March 8th, 2005 Tears fall from
our eyes as softly the memories flow, with the tears, salty on our tongues.
We miss you so much. Tomorrow is frightening except for the thought of
seeing you again; another time, another place. We hear your voice...in our
dreams you come. We talk and laugh about silly, important things. Each day
without you is less; less bright, less full...less. We feel your love with
us yet, we want you to hold. Faith in God eases the pain for moments,
sometimes days. Still, we cry; but not for you, for the loss we feel in us.
Mum and Dad, Victoria, Lenny and Mary.

(Memoriam)
In LOVING MEMORY of TED EWING Husband, Father, Best Friend A short time has
passed Since you went away I think of you often, Each and every day I think
of you in silence Where no eyes can see me weep But still within my aching
heart Your memories I keep If I could have one lifetime wish One dream that
would come true I would pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you
And now that I'm so sad and lonely And nothing seems worthwhile I seem to
hear you whisper, "Cheer up, let's see a smile." Each time I see your photos
You seem to smile and say "Don't cry I'm only sleeping, we'll meet again
someday." And if teardrops were a stairway And memories were a lane I would
walk all the way to Heaven And bring you back again _Your Loving Wife
