CLOUTIER, Alfred In loving memory of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather who passed away October 8, 1999. We watched him suffer, day by day It caused us bitter grief, To see him slowly pine away And could not give relief. His weary hours and days of pain His troubled nights are past, And in our aching hearts we know He has found sweet rest at last. Some day, some time, my eyes shall see The face I loved so well, Some day, some time, his hand I'll clasp And never say farewell. I thank God for the many years we shared together. To me you were so special and I miss you more each day. --Always loved by Mary Rose and Family.

HUNT, Marie Lorraine In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away December 15, 1998. As I look back over the past two years It is difficult to fight back the many tears As I stroll down through memory's lane, All the moments we shared were not in vain. I will always remember our very first date As it occurred on Valentine's Day Nineteen Forty-Eight As the years passed by our love remained strong And we shared life together for ever so long. The many fond memories that I will always remember Seem to be significant even during December. Your uncanny nature that you would display Will always be remembered each and every day. While I wish that you were here to stay I know that you are watching over us in every way. Your lucky number was always seven And now I know your an angel in Heaven. --Your loving husband and best friend, Bill.

Memorial (12/15/2000)
HUNT, Marie Dedicated to the memory of my beloved Mom, friend and confidante: Although two years have come and gone, memories of you and the times we shared continue to live on, Mom. I remember the sound of your sweet voice and how you sometimes sang off-key. I remember your silly giggle that made me laugh even harder when I heard it. I remember how you used to change your haircolour frequently, and we'd make predictions about the colour you'd choose next. I remember that fresh coffee was always brewing on Saturdays, while we chatted and looked over all the new Avon products that you loved so much. I remember when you used to tell us that Dad was "the boss" but we all knew better. I remember your love for Christmas, when you'd decorate the whole house and bake for days. I remember Sunday morning breakfasts with you, Dad and Pat. Pat would tease you and call you "Granny" while you pretended to be offended. I remember how you made each of us feel as if we were your most favourite child. I remember when you would call me on the phone just to talk because I didn't see you that day. I remember how safe and loved you made me feel, and the hug you always gave me at the door when I was ready to leave. Love never dies. Most of all, Mom, I remember the promise that you left me... Thank you for standing beside me everyday. --All my love and gratitude, your daughter, Denise.
