Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We had the honor of serving the families of both Helen Parnell and Lois Butcher, this past Saturday.

I Remember I will remember you Even when the sky is blue Though the storm has ceased You remain in my heart. I can recall your smile Even through the while New faces flood my way And yet, I see you still I hear people say your name But it’s not the same When you aren’t here by me To acknowledge the address I miss you so much I ache for one more touch You’ve been gone for a time Yet I still expect you to walk through the door....
