OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep. Your memory is as dear today, as in the hour you passed away.
