KOWAL In Loving Memory Marietta Julia Kowal September 8, 1956 - October 5, 2015 Remember her with a smile today She was not one for tears Reflect instead on memories Of all the happy years Recall to mind the way she spoke And all the things she said Her strength, her stance, the way she walked, Remember these instead. The good advice she’d give us Her eyes that shone with laughter So much of her will never die But live on ever after As we loved you, so we miss you In our memory you are near. Loved, remembered, longed for always Bringing many a silent tear. Always Loved, Jim & Family
FERLEYKO, (Ken) Kenneth April 20, 1942 - September 23, 2016 In loving memory of my husband, father, grandfather & friend. In a quiet town graveyard Where the gentle breezes blow Lies the one we loved so dearly Who we lost 1 year ago. Your resting place we visit We put flowers with care But no one knows the heartache As we turn and leave you behind. If tears could build a stairway And heartaches make a lane We’d walk the path to heaven And bring you home again. When we are lonely and sad And everything goes wrong. We seem to hear you whisper Cheer up I am with Debbie And other family so please try to carry on. Precious memories and our keepsakes With which we’ll never part God has you in His keeping We have you in our hearts forever. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, Your Loving Family, Wife Diane, Wendy, Dale & Monica, Jessica, Steven, your brother Randy and sister-in-law Pat.
BEZOVIE, Justin 1980 - 1997 In loving memory of our dear son, brother, and uncle who passed away October 1, 1997. Softly the leaves of memory fall, Gently we gather and treasure them all. Unseen, unheard, you are always near. So loved, so missed, so very dear. There will always be heartache and often a silent tear. But always precious memories of days when you were here. We hold you close within our hearts. And there you will remain. To walk with us throughout our lives. Until we meet again. When evening shades are falling And we sit quietly alone To our hearts there comes a longing We wish you could come home. Friends may think we have forgotten When at times they see us smile, But little do they know the heartache Our smiles hide all the while Today, tomorrow, our whole life through. We will always love and remember you. Sadly missed and always remembered, Love Dad, Mom, Jamie, Remi. Bailey, Declan, Jocelyn and Darren
