FARQUHAR--In loving memory of a cherished husband and sadly missed Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, John Farquhar, who passed away on February 13, 2005.
God looked around His garden and
He found an empty space
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 knew that you were suffering
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
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.
Always loved and sadly missed by wife Freda, children Jack (Darlene), Peggy (Gerry), Mike (Marilyn), Steve (Margaret), (daughter in-law Georgina), and families.

FARQUHAR--In loving memory of a caring husband, father and grandfather, John Farquhar, who passed away February 13, 2005.
It doesn't seem like two years ago
That you passed away.
But our hearts are full of fond memories
That we think of every day.
Your Irish tunes and laughter
Keep you always in our minds
And we know your spirit is with us
During all our special times.
Forever remembered by your wife Freda, family and grandchildren

FENNER--In memory of Rose Helen Fenner, February 15, 2005.
The Wings of Prayer
Just close your eyes;
And open your heart.
And feel your worries
And cares depart.
Just yield yourself
To the Father above
And let Him hold you
Secure in His love.
For life on earth
Grows more involved
With endless problems
That can't be solved.
But God only asks us
To do our best
Then He will take over
And finish the rest.
So when you are tired
Discouraged and blue
There's always one door
That is open to you
And that is a door to
"The house of prayer"
And you'll find God waiting
To meet you there
And 'the house of prayer'
Is no further away
Then the quiet spot
Where you kneel to pray.
For the heart is a temple
When God is there.
As we place ourselves
In His loving care
And He hears every prayer
And answers each one
When we pray to His name
"Thy will be done"
And the burdens that seemed
Too heavy to bear
Are lifted away
On "The Wings of Prayer."
With fond memories, your sisters Donna Bruder and Joyce M. Debassige.

FERGUSON�In fond memory of Heidi, who passed away on September 12, 2009.
Your time here was short, but most worth remembering
Your kindness and generosity as you welcomed me into your home on several occasions will never be forgotten
No one will ever have to tell me how much you loved your kids
Or how proud you were of them
The sparkle in your eyes when you were around them said it all
I�ll miss the in-depth conversations we shared
About all the challenges we face and life in general
You could be trusted with any thought I may had
Gone but not forgotten
May your star always shine bright.

FERGUSON�In loving memory of Hugh and Heidi, September 12, 2009.
Those whom we love go out of sight
But never out of mind
They are cherished in the hearts
Of those they leave behind
Loving and kind in all their ways
Upright and just in all their days
Sincere and true in heart and mind
Beautiful memories they left behind.
Lovingly remembered by Craig, Kelly, Jeff and Sandy.

FERGUSON�In fond memory of Hugh, a true and loyal friend, who passed away September 12, 2009.
Not a day has passed by
Without thoughts of you since I said my last goodbye
And watched you drive off in your long silver coach
Your loss has left many of us with heavy hearts
As we remember and treasure all the good times we shared.
Your presence, countless acts of kindness
And trademark chuckle are sadly missed by so many
In so many different ways
The sun will continue to rise and set at Tamarack
It just won�t shine as bright
May your Canadian flag forever fly high
Against the backdrop of the Manitoulin mountainside
And the hypnotizing deep blue water of the North Channel
As it reminds me of all the unforgettable memories we experienced
Rest in peace my friend
Rob Corbierre.

FERGUSON--In loving memory of Pearl Eileen, September 13, 1995.
Our lives go on with out you,
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches,
When someone speaks your name,
Sad are our hearts that love you,
Living our lives without you,
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was so kind and true,
When we needed someone,
We could always count on you,
The special years will not return,
When we were all together,
But with all the love that's on our hearts,
You will be with us forever.
--Always loved and remembered, Glen and family.

FERGUSON, In loving memory of my dear husband William John Ferguson who passed away Feb. 8, 1973.
The midnight stars are shining
On a grave not far away
Where they laid my dear husband
Seven years ago today
The flowers I've placed upon your grave
May wither and decay
But the love I have for the one beneath
Will never fade away.
Always remembered by wife Kathleen, children & grandchildren.
