In Memoriam

McCULLOCH, Albert Charles (Bert).
Two years ago today.
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.
– Joan, Barry, Wayne, Karen, Ross and families.

WILSON, Shirley Anne.
Passed away August 19, 2009.
Three little words, Forget me not,
Don’t seem much, but mean a lot.
Just a memory fond and true,
To show Dear Mother we think of you.
