BOUTILIER, Donald
BOUTILIER - In loving memory of a wonderful father, father-in-law and grandfather, Donald, who passed away May 10, 1996.
Remembering you is easy,
Dad, we do it everyday.
Missing you is a heartache, that never goes away.
We do not need a special day,
To bring you to our hearts and minds.
The days we do not think of you are impossible to find.
They say time heals all sorrow and helps us to forget,
But time has only shown us,
That the love you had for us is something we cherish yet.
Sadly missed and loved by daughter Stella, Kenny, son Donald, daughter-in-law Jeannie and grandchildren Travis, Tyler and Trent.
GLENHAM, Gordon

We miss you terribly, Dad.
Forever loved and cherished, The Glenham Clan
