Steven Francis, Derrick Francis, Kerry-Ann Francis, Jeffrey Francis,
and Melanie Francis. God looked around his garden, and he found an
empty place, He then looked down upon this 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 you were in pain, He knew that you would
never get well on this earth again, He saw that the road was getting
rough, and the hills were hard to climb, So he closed your weary
eyelids and whispered "Peace Be Thine". But you didn't go alone. For
part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Terrible Fatality
David Magill, a farmer living near Sault Ste. Marie was instantly killed, and four other men seriously injured by the explosion of a threshing machine, boiled������ (can�t read this). The accident happened at the noon hour. The men were standing near the machine, David Magill standing on the feeders stand, and when the explosion occurred he was blown clear over the straw-carriers on to the straw stack. The other four men were all thrown down by the shock and severely hurt, but will all recover, the machine was an old one and an over-head of steam was the cause of the explosion.

Loving mother of Kim (husband Ken MacDonald), Pam and Judy Lynn. Dear grandmother of Mindey and great-grandmother of Kayden. Dear daughter of Olive Hebert and Alban Hebert (predeceased) and dear sister of Richard Hebert (predeceased). Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. Throughout her life, Annette�s primary concern was always her family, her church and her charitable activities. Annette was born in Killarney, attended elementary school in Killarney and high school at St. Joseph�s Academy in North Bay. While working in Elliot Lake, she met her future husband and together, they moved to Sudbury where their first daughter Kim was born. When an opportunity arose for Bob to take up a teaching position, Annette agreed to move to New Brunswick without hesitation, a place where she initially knew nobody. While in New Brunswick she became involved in the church and active in the community. Her second daughter Pam and third daughter July Lynn were also born in New Brunswick. The Malloys eventually moved back to Ontario, first to Pembroke and later Espanola and for Annette, ever closer to family and Killarney. Annette nurtured, loved and guided her three girls. She raised them in the Catholic faith, registered them in the French Catholic elementary school and taught them by example. In addition to caring for her family, Annette worked at the Espanola municipal office and was also an active member in the community.
