My Dear sister Marion & Family,
Billy, we will miss you. Our conversations each day could be on any topic. Your favourite was airplanes and your garden.
Your garden was enjoyed by many.
The garlic that you took pride in growing was enjoyed very much by brother-in-law El and myself.
Billy, , God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He
then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms
around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your
weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace Be Thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day
God called you home.
Rest Billy…..
love and peace

Dear Marion and Family;
Michelle and I were sorry to learn of Pat’s death on Monday of this week.
As long time St Martin’s Parishoners, we smilingly remember Pat as the Usher Organizer for Saturday Evening Masses. It was Pat who made sure that the servicemen and women who are representing our country around the world were remembered in the prayers of the faithful.
Our thoughts are with you at this time.

I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. C’s passing. I have so many fond memories of growing up with the Cribbin’s. Mr.C was the only to always call me “Theresa” even on my last visit a year or so ago. My first time on cross country skies and my first attempt at fishing were with Mr. C, Paula, and Dorothy. Such events and others throughout our teenage years often resulted in some epic, funny happening that made for a good story and Mr. C being good storyteller never let us forget such things. Thinking of him telling the stories brings on a smile and a chuckle. My friendship with Mr and Mrs C and the family continued into adult hood – that’s how important the Cribbin’s were and are to me. I’ve always enjoyed going to the house to visit Mr and Mrs C, which included a look at Mr C’s incredible garden and ended with me leaving with a treat from the garden. Thanks for the memories and support Mr. C.
Mrs. C, Shelly, Mike, Paula, and Dorothy my heart goes out to you. I send big hugs your way.
Love,
Terry
