Tracy,
Your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I went to place your grandfathers memorial notice in my bible and I open it to the page that I had this poem saved:
GOD ONLY TAKES THE BEST
God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered,"Come with Me."
With Tearful eyes we watched you
Suffer and Fade Away,
Although we loved you deeply
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-Working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the BEST.
May you rest in peace,
We love You...

Mark, Cathy, Renea and Tracy, My prayers are with you. I loved talking with your Dad, I loved his laugh (as though the devil was with him) He was a good man and I know the Lord has his door opened for him. May the Lord bless each of you.

Ackroyd Family,
Many memories of Mr Ackroyd, our neighbor as long as I can remember. Many times we would go and visit him and sit up on the white cement post outside of his home by the sidewalk. He never made a fuss about us being up there. I hope the family continues to decorate at christmas time the way i remember it always being. God Bless and your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Erin Parrish, one of the six children Renee use to babysit when we were little.
