TUCK, Murry D.W. - In loving memory of a husband, father Murray D.W. Tuck, December 16, 2005 a year has passed. Our hearts are full of memories, We treasure them with care, The way you had to leave us, Will always seem unfair. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. In all that life has given us, And all that"s left to do, We will never have a greater gift, Than the time we spent with you. Always in our hearts Dora & David.
Lillian Veitch - In Memoriam
VEITCH, Lillian - In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother who passed away December 15, 2002. You awoke one day and realized life would not be the same without her, And then you heard her speak, that soothing voice you miss so much. Your mother is always with you, she is the whisper of the leaves walking down the street, She is the smell of certain food you remember, flowers you pick and the perfume she wore. She is the cool hand on your brow when you are not well, She is that gentle wave rippling across the shore on a summer day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter, and she"s crystallized in every tear drop. A mother shows helpfulness, joy, sorrow...and all while hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life. She is the place you came from, your first home, and she"s the map you follow with every step you take. She"s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing can separate you, not time, not space..not death. The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt with the heart.
