EADE�In loving memory of Ruth Eade who passed away October 22, 2010.
With tearful eyes I watched you go
A golden heart stopped beating
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
Mum, in our home you are fondly remembered
Sweet memories cling to your name,
Love�s greatest gift is remembrance
And you will remain in our hearts forever.
We were so blessed to have you in our lives.
Brenda and Gerald Hallett.

EADE�In loving memory of a dear mother/mother-in-law, Ruth Eade, October 22, 2010.
Mum, your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure
Silent is your voice
And vacant is your chair
Sweet are the memories
That linger there.
Ever remembered by Brenda and Gerald Hallett.

EADIE--In loving memory of a dear husband and father, Andrew L., who passed away January 25, 1993.
Poor in wealth
Rich in hard work, love and patience
As time goes by without you
And days turn into years,
They hold a million memories
And a thousand silent tears.
To us you were very special
What more is there to say.
Except to wish with all our hearts
That you were here today.
--Always missed and remembered by wife Heather, daughter Susan, son-in-law Larry, granddaughter Lindsay, grandson Ben and son Lloyd.

Beautiful memories
Are wonderful things
They last till the longest day
They never wear out
They never get lost
And can never be given away.
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to us who loved and lost you
Your memory will always last.
Always remembered by Heather, Susan, Larry, Lindsay, Ben and Lloyd.

EADIE- In loving memory of our dear son and brother Barry Lynn who was taken away so suddenly six years ago Dec. 28.
How can I explain to others,
The loss I feel inside;
I only known I miss him so,
The tears I try to hide.
He meant so very much to me,
Much more than words can say;
The ache that is within my heart,
No years can take away.
We miss you so much in many ways.
We miss the things you used to say;
And when old times we do recall,
It�s then we miss you most of all.
There�s a place set apart
In the depths of our hearts
A corner that�s always your own.
No one can replace it
Nor time erase it
We keep it for you alone.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by Mom, Dad, brothers Everett, Darrell, Jack and sister Jo-anne.

EADIE�In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Barry Lynn Eadie, who was taken from us December 28, 1971.
This month comes back with deep regret
It brings back a day we will never forget
He went away without saying good-bye
But our memories of him will never die
No one knows the grief we bear
When the family meets and he�s not there
The tears we shed will wipe away
But the ache in our hearts will always stay
He left us so suddenly his thoughts unknown
But he left us with memories
We are proud to own
Dearly loved and sadly missed by Mom, Dad, and family.

DON EADIE TRIBUTE
Don Eadie was a hardworking man. He started work at a young age and continued to work even into his eighties. He was the proud owner of Don Eadie Construction, a company which has thrived on Manitoulin and the surrounding area for over 50 years. Hard work and perseverance was not all that characterized Don. Don was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a friend but most importantly, Don was my great-grandfather. On Thursday, January 5th, I lost him (as did many others) as he passed peacefully at his home in Greenbush. Growing up I spent a lot of time at my great-grandpa�s with my parents. Some of the things that I remember most were that grandpa always had his German Short-Haired companion Max (or more commonly �Maxy�) who watched out for me as I ran around the farm. As well, the neighbours across the road always had a dog named �Bear� and it never was the same dog. The dogs varied across the years but they always had the same name. Often one of the �Bears� would come to my grandpa�s and play with both Maxy and I. Grandpa also had a cat or two and there was always this black cat who sat in the family room on top of the fireplace and stared at me whenever I entered. I was afraid of the family room for quite some time because of this. What I remember most though was that I could feel that my grandpa loved me. Throughout my childhood I gained the nickname �Paigey� from most of my family members and grandpa always said it when he saw me. I can her it so vividly now � �Oh, there�s Paigey!� words that now burn in my ears every time anyone says Paigey. He said it with such pride, pride that I was his great-granddaughter and that I was a part of his family. His beautiful blue eyes, eyes that my Nana, Dad, and now myself have all been blessed with, seemed to dance when he said this and his smile beamed. I�ll never be able to get this memory out of my mind. In public too he always made a point to show me off and gloat about how I was his great-granddaughter and how beautiful I was which made me feel really good. It made me feel like he was proud of me. I didn�t feel kike he was proud of me just because he thought I was pretty. I also felt he was proud of me when I walked into his family room where many pictures of me were strewn across the wall � most of which I had my pet sheep Lambchop in tow. My grandpa never had to tell me, I always knew that he thought a lot of me and I felt the same of him too. I always got so much pride driving with friends and seeing a Don Eadie Construction truck. I�d say, �Look, Don Eadie Construction! Don Eadie�s my grandpa!� I made sure to make this known to most. In the past two moths I�ve lost two people who I thought so much of and held dear to my heart. In November, my Nana�s husband Paul who I also pent a lot of time with growing up, passed away and now in January my Grandpa Don has passed on. I still don�t understand why people with such good hearts and with so much living left to do are gone. I�m afraid that as time goes on I will slowly start to forget what it sounded like to hear my grandpa say, �There�s Paigey!� but I�m going to hold onto that sound for as long as I can. I know that God has a plan for everyone but I wish He didn�t have a plan for Paul and Grandpa so soon. I wanted more time with them and I�m finding it hard to accept that they�re gone. I just keep thinking that when I return to the Island Paul and my Grandpa will still be there and I�ll be able to visit them again. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have also been told that God never takes anything without giving something back, which is even better, and this is why I have hope for the future. I God had to take people like Paul and Grandpa Don I know that I�ll be receiving something purely amazing because they were the best which somehow makes the pain I feel a little bit easier. I found an Eskimo proverb online which reads, �Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pour through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.� I know they both had a lot of love for me because the stars sure are bright tonight. Missing you both more and more each day. Until we meet again, Paige Elliott.

EADIE--In fond and loving memory of our mother, grama, and great grandmother Nina, who left us all that cold December morning December 15, 1986.
Those who have a mother now, treasure her with care, For all too soon the time shall come and you�ll find a vacant chair.
My dream is a treasure mom, I�ll always keep
I dreamed about Moma last night
We never thought about it then for we were young and gay
Just how much she worried when we children were away.
Whenever we went out at night she�d always keep a light
It seemed she had to know for sure each one came home all right
She never closed her eyes in sleep till we were all at rest
Somehow she feared the world would harm the ones she loved the best
On party nights when we were out until 1, 2 or 3
It seemed she always heard the turning of the key
For always when we stepped inside she�d call and we�d reply,
but we were all too young back then to know the reason why
She said perhaps when we had grown to women and to men
Perhaps she�s sleep the whole night through, things might be different then
And so it seemed that night and day we had a mother�s care
That always when we came back home, we�d find her waiting there
Then came that sad and painful day we gathered round her bed,
The children are all with you now, the kindly doctor said.
She smiled that old familiar smile and prayed that
God would keep her children safe through all the years and then she fell asleep.
--Until we meet again, your children: Doreen, Evelyn, Whilamean, and son Robert and your grandchildren and great grandchildren. �We love you Mom.�

They are not gone, these loved ones whom we mourn.
We must not think of them as far away.
Into a fuller life have they been born.
Laying aside the vesture of this day
These sweet souls around us watch us still
When troubles come, press closer to our side.
Into our thoughts and into our prayers each day
On wings of love with gentle helping guide
Yet near us still they watch and love and know.
We are the blind ones who no longer see
Be loved forms that softly come and go
Waiting reunion in eternity.
--Forever loved and never forgotten, Doreen Witty.

EADIE--In loving memory of Johnny Eadie, 1916 - 1943.
The ballad of Johnny Eadie
It was on a winter�s day when Johnny Eadie sailed away
To old England far across the deep blue sea.
And his heart was gay and light to be in the freedom fight,
This young Canadian who had dreams of victory.
�Cause in time they were to come against the foe.
And as he marched he had good faith in the famous forty-eighth,
Those brave highlanders of Canada�s pride and show.
Refrain
Oh, Johnny Eadie we salute you
You�re just one who helped to see we did not fall,
And our courage and great endurance
Will forever be remembered by us all.
In the year of forty-three, on the isle of Sicily
This lad, he fell for his dear Canadian land.
And his duty it was done, in a battle that was won,
But young Johnny did not live to see the end.
He now lies �neath foreign soil
Where Sicilians live and toil
And his grave is there to see e�re you may pass.
He was killed in No Man�s Land
For the liberty of man, now his cross stands there, a symbol of his great task.
Oh, Johnny Eadie we salute you
You are the one who helped to see we did not fall
And your courage and great endurance will
Forever be remembered by us all.
Written by Stanley J. Mills who grew up in Little Current and was in the same regiment as Johnny Eadie.

EADIE--In fond and loving memory of our dear Mother Nina Eadie, December 15, 1986 and dear sister Wilhelmina Smith, December 18, 2005, who left their earthly home that cold December to be with our Lord and Saviour.
Softly the leaves of memory fall
Slowly we gather and treasure them all
Unseen, unheard, they are always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
On the door of a chapel a wreath sadly hung
And the hearse stood there waiting while the choir softly sung.
There were flowers in their beauty and the Parson who prayed
And this was the last message as they left for her grave.
She won't need you tonight, Son, for she's not alone.
She's up there with the angels around God's great throne.
Those flowers in their beauty her bosom caress,
She has reared you to manhood, now you can lay her to rest.
But don't wait till it's too late to try and repay,
Give those flowers, give those treasures, give them today.
Let her know that you love her,
Let her know that you care.
For she's your Mother, God loves her, she's as true as a prayer.
So kiss her old brow, whisper softly and true,
Mother, you're just an angel, and I love you.
Lovingly missed and remembered by your daughters and sisters, Doreen Taylor, Evelyn Bailey and Son and brother Robert Eadie.

Beautiful memories are a wonderful thing
They will last the longest day
They never wear out,

And can never be given away.
To some, you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to me, who loved you and lost you
Your memory will always last.

He is gone but not forgotten
And, as dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking
Thoughts of him are always near.
Days of sadness will come o'er us.
Many think the wound is healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That lies in the heart concealed.
Lovingly remembered by wife Barbara, Darren, Belinda and Stephen.

EADIE�In loving memory of a husband and father, Orval Eadie, who passed away December 29, 2009 and son and brother John who passed away April 23, 1990.
Time may heal the broken hearted
Time may make the wound less sore
But it cannot fill the longing
For the loved one gone before.
Who shall say the grief is lessened
Though smiles hide the tears
Memories keep the wound still open
With the passing of the years.
Lovingly remembered by Barb, Darren, Belinda and Steve.

ENOSSE--In loving memory of my dear father Johnny who reunited with the spirit world August 12, 2006.
Your dream catcher now holds oh, so still.
It was once filled with dreams, you longingly wished to fulfill.
But as the circle of the web became so torn and so tangled.
We sat and we pondered why it had got so mangled.
Then we cried as we laughed because of its shape.
For we knew it had to outlast a date.
With broken dreams and shadows creeping stronger.
We prayed your life would last a wee bit longer
But like the dream catcher, we tried to fix together.
Your life was drifting into the downs of the feathers
Just then, it seemed, they too had become so weathered.
The circle of beads now faded yellow, blue and red
Holds a constant reminder of what you had said,
"On a day I am called to leave behind sadness,
Just think of me resting in a web of light with gladness.
Hold close the dreams for they hold the story
Of an elder, whose dreams were forbidden and not sorried."
And now, for what it's worth, your dreams are all but gone.
Whispering within the feathers as they glisten from dusk till dawn.
And as the daylight turns into night
Your dreams will forever be weaved in a web of heavenly light.
Baamaapii miinwah nhoos, Leta.

In loving memory of John C. Enosse, August 12, 2006.
Forever in a day, we miss our dear John
The birds would chirp, and tweetle their song
. Whistled to their tune, as you tapped your feet
We'd say, shush grampa, as you'd grin ear to cheek.
But one dark August sky, there shone a cold dawn
The birds song still, as they knew you had gone.
Another season, the leaves be falling
As I think of our talks, say thank you for calling.
The day you left seems but a blink away
All we have are thoughts that never go astray.
Even little things that linger in our mind
Are just that, they too, heal with time.
It's the hearty things that will never fade
At how we still laugh at the jokes you had made.
You visit us in spirit, in dreams, and in secret
A day rarely goes by that we comfort from it.
In spirit we know you're always here
In secret you say I'm always near.
In dreams we hug, we visit as we walk
I say, thank you dad, as you fade while we talk.
For us, your wisdom and courage, we'll always retain
For you, serenity, a home with no daunting pain.
K'daanis, Letta

Your Earthly journey ended 10 years ago
We look at your picture and
We remember your laughter

We remember the good times we shared

That never came to pass
But we know that
You are in a better place
Celebrating and feasting with
Our ancestors

KEVIN G. ENOSSE
1966-1991
Your Earthly journey ended 10 years ago
We look at your picture and
We remember your laughter
We remember your smile
We remember the good times we shared
We also wonder
about the possibilities, about dreams
That never came to pass
But we know that
You are in a better place
Celebrating and feasting with
Our ancestors
Nokomis miinwa Mishomis
Miigwech to Kije Manito for the time
That you spent with us, the memories
Are still strong, your presence is still felt.
--Always remembered by your family, Mom, brother Stephen and family, aunts and uncles, friends and relatives.

ENSE--In loving memory of a dear mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother Beatrice Ense who was sadly taken from us one year ago, December 3rd.
Please God, forgive a silent tear,
A fervent wish our Mom was here.
There are others, yes we know
But she was ours, we loved her so.
Dear God, take a message,
To our Mom in heaven above,
Tell her how much we miss her
And give her all our love.
It's lonely here without you.
We miss you more each day.
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
They say memories are golden.
Well maybe that is true.
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
Sadly missed by Martin, wife Justeen, Sadie, husband Eldridge, Gerald, wife Debbie, Geraldine, husband Bill, Ron, Ken, Abby, Norma, Elsie, Jay, wife Missy and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

ENSE--In loving memory of Beatrice Ense, Dec. 3, 2003
Within our hearts we always keep
A special place for you,
And try to do our best to live
As you would want us to.
As we loved you, so we miss you,
In our memory you are near;
Loved, remembered, longed for always
With the passing of each year.
Lovingly remembered by all the family.

ENSE--In loving memory of Beatrice Ense, December 3, 2003.
No one knows how much we miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered, since we lost you
Life has never been the same.
In our heart your memory lingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear mother,
That we do not think of you.
Lovingly remembered by Sadie, Gerald, Martin, Geraldine, Ron, Ken, Abby, Elsie and Jay.

Though her smile is gone forever
And her hand we cannot touch.
Still we have so many memories
Of the one we loved so much.

ENSE--In loving memory of our mom Beatrice Ense who passed away December 3, 2003.
We seem to see in the soft dim light
A face we love the best;
Recalling her as the sun's last rays
Go down in the far off west.
We miss her more as time goes on,
We can never close our hearts;
And the lamp of our love still burns.
Her heart the truest in all the world,
Her love the best to recall;
None on earth could take her place, She is still the dearest of all.
From all her children and grand children.

ENSE--In loving memory of Beatrice who passed away December 3, 2003.
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
Always remembered by your children and grandchildren.

ENSE--In loving memory of Beatrice who passed away December 3, 2003.
We often sit and think of her
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend,
That grief can call its own;
Like ivy on the withered oak,
When other things decay,
Our love for her will still be green
And never fade away.
Lovingly remembered by her children.

ENSE--In loving memory of my daughter Courtney, who passed away November 18, 1991.
She was only a little white rose,
A sweet little flower from birth;
God took her home to heaven
Before she was soiled on earth.
We miss her love and cheery ways;
With her we spent our happiest days;
In memory we see her the same;
As long as we live, we'll cherish her name.
Lovingly remembered by Mom.

ESHKAWKOGAN--In loving memory of Logan Eshkawkogan, July 18, 2004.
Our dear friend Logan
I want to wipe my tears
I want to dry my eyes
Life seems so unfair
I hate saying goodbye
Not knowing how you felt
Not understanding why
But wondering why we
Cry our eyes dry
It broke our hearts
When you left us that day
You were still so young
We needed you here to stay.
To be here for your family
To be here for your friends
But we'll think of you always
Until we meet again.
Together we'll be stronger
Together we'll wipe our tears
Together we'll dry our eyes
Then it won't be so hard
To say goodbye.
We'll think of you often
We'll shed our happy tears
Of all our memories
We've shared throughout the years
We'll remember your loving smile
Your laughter so very true
Just know this, Logan
We will never forget you.
Love your family and friends. Memorial for the late Logan Eshkawkogan, July 17, 862 Wikwemikong Way. Family and friends welcome to attend.

ESHKAWKOGAN--In loving memory of my dear friend, Logan, July 18, 2004.
If you were here with us today
There'd be so much I'd like to say
We never got the chance to say good-bye
I wish I could have because now I cry.
I wonder what it's like to leave all that loved
Now that you watch us from up above
You are gone and we're all in pain
But we know we will see your sweet smile again.
We all know you were the best at what you did
How you played hockey, and how you made us laugh
Although those good times will never be replaced.
We will always remember your smiling face.

Your Niichke, Kendra Madahbee.

ESHKAWKOGAN-In loving memory of our son, brother and uncle, Logan Raymond Eshkawkogan, July 18, 2004.
No Regrets
If I knew it would be the last time that I�d see you fall asleep
I would tuck in more tightly
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door
I would give you a hug and a kiss and call you back for one more
If I knew it would be the last time I�d hear your voice lifted up in praise
I would videotape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say �I love you,�
Instead of assuming you would know I do
If I knew it would be the last time I would share your day, well I�m sure you�ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
Fore surely there�s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another to say our �I love you�s.�
And certainly there�s another chance to say our �Anything I can do�s?�
But just in case I might be wrong and today is all I get.
I�d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
�Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike.
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.�
So if you�re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you�ll surely regret the day that you didn�t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close day. Whisper in their ear. Tell them how much you love them and you�ll always hold them dear.
Take time to say �I�m sorry,� �thank you� or �it�s okay.�
And if tomorrow never comes, you�ll have no regrets about today.
Lovingly remembered by mom Darlene, sister Kristen, niece Tori, and family and friends.

ESQUIMAUX--In loving memory of Samuel.
Words cannot begin to tell you
How much you are missed everyday
I dream and think of you often

You�ll never be forgotten, Daddy
