In Loving Memory Of
Sheila Alice Johnson
August 15, 1937 - August 15, 2014 If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane; We would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say “goodbye”; You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. Our heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow; What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. But now we know you want us, to mourn for you no more; To remember all the happy times, life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today; A hallowed place within our hearts, is where you’ll always stay. Always and forever in our hearts. Paulette, Sheenagh, Stephen, Ashlee & Jaylin.
In Loving Memory
PATRICK REGINALD DEVEAUX JR. 15th August 1976- 20th February 2026
A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest, it broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best They say that memories are golden, well, maybe that is true, but we never wanted memories, we only wanted you Your life was love and labour, your love for your family true, you did your best for all of us, we will always remember you. From: Parents, son, brothers, sister, niece and nephew, sister-in-law, aunts and uncles, cousins, family, friends and co-workers.
