We can’t know why some things happen... But we can know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. And we can know that there’s a place inside the heart where love lives always ... and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten. From her parents Brother Sister Husband and Son IN LOVING MEMORY In memory of Dennis Michael Nowakowski who would have celebrated his “50th” birthday, September 18th. Son, you shine in our hearts like a beam of light. Though your smile is gone forever. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part. God, take a birthday message in Heaven above. Tell him we miss him and give him all our love. We do know you have him in your keeping. But tell him, no one or anything can fill his vacant place. Sadly missed Mother and Daddy IN LOVING MEMORY In memory of Dennis Michael Nowakowski Sept. 18,1945 - Feb. 28,1993 Happy “50th” birthday dear brother. You are truly missed by all of us; but we never lose the one we love. Memories of you, will always last. May God’s Grace, be with you, and may His love surround you always. Brother Terry, Wife Elaine And Family Sister Dianne, Husband Edward Gronowski and Family IN LOVING MEMORY In memory of David Gilbert Knowlton who passed away Sept. 19, 1985, at the age of 41 years and one month.

A million times we’ve needed ; you A million times we’ve cried If love could have saved you You never would have died. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. He saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be He closed his arms around you And whispered “Come With Me.” For all you went through He saw you needed rest. God’s garden must be beautiful For He only picks the best. Sometimes it’s hard to understand Why these things have to be But we know that there are reasons We often cannot see. We can only trust in God And know that in someway It's all a part of His great plan And we’ll understand some day.
