Don, Dave and Julie,

We are sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember seeing him getting his exercise walking in the village of Canton. It is good that your parents moved to live near you for their later years. I am sure you are thankful for your time with them. We will remember you and your families in our prayers. Please give our condolences to your mother.

MEMORIES

Memories are heartbeats,
Sounding through the years,
Echoes never failing,
Of our smiles and tears.
Moments that are captured,
Sometimes unaware,
Pictures in an album,
Or a lock of hair.

Images that linger
Deep within the mind,
Bits of verse we cherished
Once upon a time.

Through the musty hallways
Of the days we knew,
Ever comes the vision,
Beautiful and true.

Memories are roses
Blooming evermore,
Full of fragrant sweetness,
Never known before.
Life must have a reason,
Goals for which to strive,
Memories are lights that burn
. . . To keep the heart alive.

Helen, Don, Dave, Julie,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have wonderful memories of our time together on Mildon Road. I remember the Saturday morning trips to the dump with Mr. Dart, trips to the dairy for black raspberry ice cream, the best glider in the world, and we definitely had the best skating rink in town! May your life time of memories get you through the difficult times ahead. From our family to yours, God Bless.
