SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love was innocent! Lord Byron

You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears; Be happy that we had so many years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I travelled alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must; Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on; So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home." The Coutu family in care of arrangements: EDWARD J. COUTU LTD. 680 Archibald Street 253-5086

During his employment with Highways he travelled throughout the province and every year couldn't wait to get on to the winter roads.

He also enjoyed taking driving trips to British Columbia and through the States - with an occasional fly-in trip to Vegas - where he took great delight in people watching. Watson loved being around people and people enjoyed being around him. He treasured his daughters and also the friendships he made throughout his life. Watson was a very kind and giving man, always willing to lend a helping hand. Throughout his battle with cancer, Watson maintained a positive attitude. Although frustrated at times because he could no longer do all the things he "used to do", Watson never complained and never gave up hope.

He persevered and was determined to hold on to his independence as long as he could. On behalf of Watson, his daughter would like to express heartfelt gratitude to staff of Riverview Health Centre 3E, including: Linda(s), Alina, Stella, Rachael, Wayne, Margaret, Bev, Marlene(s), Lou, Alain, Helen, Dana, Kerry, Barb, Brian, doctors Garcia, Pilkey and Crow and others.
