Online condolences may be left at: www.northcuttelliott.com OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY In my heart your memory lingers, always tender, fond and true; there's not a day, dear friend, I do not think of you. Your memory is as dear today, as in the hour you passed away. Always so good, unselfi sh and kind, none on this earth your equal I'll fi nd. Honourable and true in all your ways, loving and faithful to the end of your days, honest and liberal, ever upright, just in your judgment, always right; loved by your friends and all whom you knew, one in a million, that person was you. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me. A loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. Long days, long nights, you bore your pain. To wait for a cure, but all in vain. Till God Himself knew what was best. He took you home and gave you rest. IN MEMORIAM
