SHCHYSCHUK: In loving memory of our dear father, grandfather and brother, Laddie, who passed away January 16, 2006.

We thought of you today,

But that is nothing new;

We thought about you yesterday,

And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name;

Now all we have are memories,

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we'll never part;

God has you in His keeping,

We have you in our heart.

-Your loving family, Barbara, Chrissy, Anna and Peter.

OLSON: In loving memory of my husband, Dick Olson, who passed away on January 16, 2002.

Time speeds on, five years are gone.

I remember the day I met you,

The day God made you mine;

I remember the day God took you,

And will until the end of time.

It's sad to walk the road alone,

Instead of side by side;

But to all comes a moment,

When the paths of life divide.

You gave me years of happiness,

What precious memories you left behind,

I will treasure through the years.

Treasure him God in your garden of rest,

For in my world he was one of the best.

-Love as always, Elaine.

CURRAH: In loving memory of Edgar, husband, father and grandfather, who passed away January 7, 2001.

Every day in some small way,

Memories of you come our way;

Though absent, you are always near,

Still missed, loved, always dear.

We love you.

-Mary, Betty Ann and Gary, Maxine, Kenn and family.
