In loving memory of Gilbert F. "Gillie" Withrow.
He loved the open air where wide skies roam,
Strong hands at work, building more than a home.
He served with honor, steady, faithful, and true,
Answering duty in all he would do.

His faith was a compass through seasons and days,
A quiet assurance that guided his ways.
Now he rests in peace where heaven draws nigh,
Built well, lived fully—forever held high.

Please view the obituary page at the link below to find service details and to share your condolences in any way you feel appropriate.

Funny how tastes follow us.
This was something I only found up north or in Michigan as a kid — now I see it more often, and I think it explains my love for ginger to this day.

What flavor brings back a memory for you?

In loving memory of Carole Ann Bowman.

When a hummingbird appears nearby,
Pause your step and lift your eye.
For in its wings so swift and light,
Lives love that never left your sight.

It comes to whisper, not goodbye,
But gentle proof that souls still fly.
A sign of joy, of love made new,
A quiet hello sent straight to you.

So when you see that shimmered wing,
Remember this sweet visiting—
Those we love don’t truly part,
They live forever in the heart.
