WERBOWESKY, Thomas: Who passed away October 25, 2003.

Today recalls the memory.

Of a loved one gone to rest;

And those who think of him today,

Are those who loved him best.

The flowers we lay upon his grave,

May wither and decay;

But the love for him who lies beneath.

Will never fade away.

-Loved missed, and remembered by Evelyn and Ken. Robert and Marilynne, Bonnie and Dave. Kurt, Jamie, Sean, Nicole. Thomas.

Steve Dymtrash 1922 - 2006

God saw that your were tired

He knew there was no cure,

So one year ago today he put his arms around you and said "Come home to me."

You suffered in silence and never complained.

You faced the pain with unfailing courage, right up until the end.

You never lost your sense of humor and always had a joke to tell.

You fought so hard to stay with us, but God had a plan to free you from all pain.

So he took you to his loving home.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you.

A lump forms in our throat and tears come to our eyes.

We still had so many things to talk to you about, to share with you, and still wanted to hear you laugh. if "love could have been your cure and saved you; you never would have died.

So Lord please take this message to our Dad.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, we'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
