DAMIEN P. LEBLANC

LeBlanc – In loving memory of Damien LeBlanc who passed away 10 years ago December 16, 2009.

There is a bridge of memories

From here to heaven above

That keeps you close to us

It's called the bridge of love

As time goes on without you

And days turn into years

They hold a million memories

and a thousand silent tears

To us you were so special

What more is there to say

Except to wish with all our hearts

That you were here today

Love always

Wife Jeannine, children Rosaline, Valeri, Jacques, Michel, Pierrette, and their families

BURNHAM, DOREEN – In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother, who passed away December,

2008.

I feel a warmth around me

like your presence is so near

and I close my eyes to visualize

your face when you were here

Missing you always, and remembering you with love. Fenwick and Family.

In loving memory of my mother who left us December 16, 2016.

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon this Earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best

LAKE, HAROLD– December 16, 2017

Life handed him a few hard knocks

Sometimes his luck was bad

He had the usual ups and downs

As most of us have had.


Grief had its day along the way

Great fortune passed him by

But he always came out a winner

With a twinkle in his eye.


This legacy of laughter

A gift from some forbear

Was all the weapon he had

To fight life’s pain and care.


But he kept his sense of humor

And he laughed away the tears

And he went on spreading chuckles

All around him down the years.


And we know we’ll find him waiting

When we join him by and by

Likely joshing with the angels

With that twinkle in his eye.


Missing you Dad.

Mike, Terri and John

GOD'S GARDEN

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
And then He looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, "Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Love Always, Ricky, Karen & Matt
