Diane L Haberly Relation to Deceased: My friends DAD I remember the time that I went to cottage in sodus and we went fishing that morning..We all got up and he asked me if I wanted some Oatmeal and I said yes..so then we loaded our fishing gear up and got out on bay and guess what…I got sick..was in the cubby for the rest of the fishing..don’t know what happened but I guess the oatmeal didnt sit too well. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker

Agnes V Ludlow Relation to Deceased: Mother-in-Law to Charles Chippero, Al’s son Here’s to a “Gentle Giant”. We were friends from the start when Charles proposed marriage to our daughter Celeste Ludlow. Al had a sense of humor that was passed on to his son. Al was a patient man who loved his family and showed this in every way. Al and Faye shared many joyous occasions with my family. I will miss this man dwho “fished” his way into my heart. The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody
