Epitaph for Harry CrossWitty, artistic, and cherished by family and friends
Poison gas at Passchendaele marked the beginning of his end. Part of his friends’ “House of H” he proudly exclaimed, "we are seven!” Until the perils of poison gas, at age twenty-three, marked him as a star in heaven. - original poem by Ms. Burleson |
Epitaph for Jack DowlerYou were the strong and beloved only son,
Fatality of vicious vengeance of a German’s gun. Your patriotism did not waver, You did Canada an immense favor. - original poem by Krysteena White |

Qualities which you cannot ration. Friendly, family man, and faithful, For your endless dedication we are grateful. - original poem by Krysteena White |
