Memorials are directed to the Church or Donors Choice.

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is still;

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has recalled

The boon His love had given;

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in heaven.


JESUS! MARY! JOSEPH!

We have loved them in life;

Let us not forget them after death.
