KAGESHEONGAI--In loving memory of a dear husband, Victor, who passed away May 3, 1998.
This month comes back with deep regret
It brings back a day I will never forget.
You went away without saying good-bye
But my memories of you will never die.
No one knows the grief I bear
When the family meets and your not there.
The tears I shed will wipe away
But the ache in my heart will always stay.
You left me so suddenly your thoughts unknown
But you left me with memories
I am proud to own.
--Sadly missed by your wife Marie.

Within our hearts we always keep
A special place for you,
And try to do our best to live

With the passing of each year.
Always remembered with love from Marie, April, and grandchildren.

KANE-In loving memory of our dear sister, Margaret Betty Kane, who passed away three years ago to-day, Nov. 1, 1945.
Tonight the stars are gleaming
On a lonely, silent grave.
Where sleeps in dreamless slumber
One we loved but could not save.
No one knows the silent heartaches,
Only those who have lost can tell
Of the grief that we bear in silence
For the one we loved so well.
-Sadly missed by brother, Duke, and sister-in-law, Elinore.

KATEGIANNIS�In loving memory of Jennifer, August 6, 2011.
Remembering you is easy
We do it every day
Missing you is the hardest part
As it never goes away
To hear your voice
To see your smile
To sit with you
And talk for a while
Would be our greatest wish
Today, tomorrow, our whole life through.
We shall always love and remember you.
Paula, John, Dustin and Sabrina.

KATEGIANNIS�In loving memory of Jennifer, August 6, 2011.
We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us behind memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Forever remembered, forever loved.
Michelle, Brad, Cameron and Trenton.

KAY--In memory of Kenny Kay, August 17, 1985 - March 25, 2006.
He is Gone
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes.
We miss you, Aunt Diane, Uncle Steve and Stuart.

KAY--In loving memory of Kenneth Kay, August 17, 1985 - March 25, 2006.
Time has passed, but our sorrow remains.
There is a quiet about our house these days.
We would never have thought
We would miss your sounds so very much.
The sound of your burst of laughter,
The late night phone call for a ride home,
The excited stories of parties, friends and many adventures.
Oh, yes. We even miss the ear hurting volume
Of your music, guitars and your drumming.
The past year has passed without you here with us.
We remember you in so many ways, in the places we go, things we do.
Mostly, we miss you being here.
Your joy, laughter, happiness
And even your sad times and bad times
Will always be timeless
As will our heartbreak and pain of losing you.
You were loved and always will be loved, Mom and Dad.
Manitoulin Expositor, March 21, 2007

KAY�In loving memory of Kenneth.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried,
If love alone would have save you,
You would have never died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one can ever fill.
A light from our household is gone,
A voice from our love is stilled,
A place in our vacant home,
Which never can be filled.
Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more,
But in our memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes,
With which we never part,
God has you safely in his keeping,
But we have you forever in our hearts.
Lovingly remembered by Mom and Dad.

KAY--Kenneth, remembering you on March 25th.
If Tomorrow Never Comes
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and 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 be there to share your day,
We'll I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For 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 day 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 today, whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.
Sadly missed by Mom and Dad.

KAY � In loving memory of our son Kenneth Kay, August 17, 1985 � March 25, 2006.
We thought of you today
But that is nothing new,
We thought of you yesterday,
And will tomorrow too.
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who knew you know
Remembering you is easy
We do it every day
It�s the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.
Forever love, Mom and Dad.

KAY--In loving memory of Kenneth Kay, August 1985-March 2006.
Our memories built a special bridge
When our loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared
Preserving ties that bind
They build a special kind of love
And bring us peace of mind.
Mom and Dad

KAY�In loving memory of Kenny Kay, August 17, 1985 to March 25, 2006.
We�ve known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,
We�ve lived in the sunshine
And walked in the rain.
But now we�re separated
And for a time apart,
But we�re not alone,
You�re forever in our hearts.
Mom and Dad.

KAY--In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Marion (Lolly) Kay, who passed away 20 years ago on April 21, 1990.
They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today;
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
If tears could built a stairway
And heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Always remembered by husband Earl, daughters Marianne, Karen, Dianna and families.

KEMP-In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather William H. Kemp who passed away October 27, 1972
This month comes with sad regret,
It brings back a day we�ll never forget.
You fell asleep without goodbye
But memories of you will never die.
We miss you more than anyone knows,
As each day passes emptiness grows.
The tears we shed will wipe away,
But the ache in our hearts will always stay.
You left so suddenly, your thoughts unknown,
But left us with memories we�re proud to own.
Lovingly remembered by wife Reta, daughter Gail, son-in-law Morrison and grand-daughter Maureen.

KEYS, DWAINE ALVIN--In loving memory of our dear son, father and brother who passed away November 6, 2002.
In a quiet country cemetery
Where gentle breezes blow
Lies the one we love so dearly,
Whom we lost two years ago.
Your resting place we visit,
Place flowers there with care,
But no one knows the heartache,
When we turn to leave you there.
Of all that life has given us,
And all that is left to do,
We will never know a greater gift,
Than the years we shared with you.
Lovingly remembered by Mom, Ernest, Jennifer, Christopher and Kayden, Kelly, John, Matthew; Kirstin and Kaitlin.

KEYS--Dwaine Alvin, In loving memory of a dear son, father, brother, uncle, and grandfather who passed away on November 6, 2002.
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is our memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His keeping
We will always have you in our hearts.
We love you Dwaine and miss you.
The Keys family, Bobo family, and Kelly Hicks family.
