The Rose Beyond the Wall A rose once grew where all could see, Sheltered beside a garden wall And, as the days passed swiftly by, It spread its branches, straight and tall. One day a beam of light shone through A crevice that had opened wide. The rose bent gently toward its warmth Then passed beyond to the other side. Now, you who deeply feel its loss, Be comforted - the rose blooms there. Its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own loving care. Author unknown

Ron Snatchko 11-30-1946 - 09-03-2006 God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And whispered, "Come, live with me." With tearful eyes, we watched you Suffer and saw you fading away. We loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Your hard working hands put to rest God broke our hears to prove to us. He only takes the best. God will love you and keep you until We meet someday. May God grant you eternal peace and May your tender love watch over us always.

Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's Plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.

Your hand was warm and tender When lifted to my lips to kiss One final time the tenderness to feel Your hands, your love I miss. Trish asked that day if I felt My words were heard by you I briefly thought and then I said Yes, If Love Gets Thru! A year has passed and with each day I miss you more and more I know one day we'll be together For you're waiting at Heaven's Door.	John Freed 11-05-1934 - 12-26-2013 We little knew that morning, 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 beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

With tearful eyes, we watched her suffer And saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands to rest God broke our hears to prove to us. He only takes the best.	Ivan "Chris" Coene 11-29-1943 • 02-27-2018 I am Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following paths God made for me I took his hand, I heard him call Then turned, and bid farewell to all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found my peace...at close of play. And if my parting left a void Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened...deep with sorrow I wish you sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full, I've savoured much Good firneds, good times A loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee God wanted me now He set me free. Author unkown	No Picture Available Tony P. Guerrera 09-27-1938 • 01-26-2016 A Fallen Limb A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me." Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don't worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we're together again.
