When a loved one becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Our thoughts are ever with you though you have passed away, And those wo loved you dearly are thinking of you today.
A silent thought, a secret tear, keeps your memory ever dear. God took you home. It was his will, But in our hearts you live still. Jon you will be missed.
I will miss laughing at your big hat on your head walking into American Trading saying. HELLO, HELLO, HELLO,
I don't know how to say good bye Jon after 35 years of knowing you. I Love you Jon. R. Croteau you will be missed dearly. ( R.I.P.)
