LANGILLE - In loving memory of my dearest brother,
Gordon George William Langille (Pooch),
who passed away March 21, 1999
Memories of you will never tarnish or grow old,
They are locked in my heart, letters in gold.
A million prayers won't bring you back,
I know because I tried;
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
They say time heals everything
But I know that isn't so,
For it hurts as much today as it did one year ago.
To me you were someone special,
What more can I say?
Except that missing you is a heartache
That never goes away.
To know how much it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know,
I will always love and miss you
As I try to carry on each day.
So treasure him Oh Lord, in Your Garden of Rest,
For on earth, Pooche
My brother, my friend, my Buddy was the best.
So I'm going to leave you this message
Oh Lord, please tell him I love him,
I miss him and that we'll meet again someday.
Will always be remembered and never forgotten.
Loved, sister Jennifer, Shawn and nephew Trent. XO

LANGILLE - In loving memory of our brother Gordon G.W. "Pooch" Langille
who passed away March 21, 1999.
God gave us a gift that we had for 18 years,
A son and a brother who shared our laughs and tears,
A son who made you smile,
A friend who would make you happy,
If we had to walk a mile.
But in one single second, on one winter March day
This precious gift given to us was quickly taken away.
He was a special person,
Who could never be replaced
And all of the memories that we shared
Will never be erased.
So nothing lasts forever in this world I know,
Take good care of those you love
'Cause someday they'll have to go.
Pooch, if you're listening at this I know you must,
I want you to know we love you and you meant the world to us.
Forever loved, very sadly missed & never forgotten.
Your sister, Jeanne, Calvie, Courtney & Michael Rose.

In loving memory of our uncle Pooch.
An uncle is someone special
Who is always there for you;
To give a helping hand
Whenever you need him to.
To let this person go
Is the hardest thing to do,
And to know he'll never be here
The way you want him to.
So please God in heaven,
Take care of our uncle Pooch;
Let him know we love him
And give him a big smooch.
All our hugs and kisses, your niece and nephew, Courtney & Michael.

LANGILLE - In loving memory of our grandson, Pooch,
who passed away March 21, 1999.
Make a wish for us,
To God in Heaven above,
To keep our grandson safe,
And send him all our love,
Let him know we miss him,
And just how much we care,
Tell him we remember the times,
When he was here.
Treasure and keep him forever,
Gently close and near,
Let him know we miss him
And someday we'll be there.
All our love, Nanny and Puppy Shrider.

LANGILLE - In loving memory of our son, Gordon G. W. Langille (Pooch),
who passed away March 21, 1999.
His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away,
His journey's just begun;
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears;
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing,
That we could know today;
How nothing but our sadness,
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living,
In the hearts of those he touched;
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And he was loved so much.
It seems like forever, Pooch,
But it's only been one year,
Since last we saw your smiling face,
The one we loved so dear.
Our hearts ache with sadness,
Our eyes fill with tears,
To know we'll be without you,
For many more long years.
Someday we will be together,
On that far, distant shore,
To live for eternity,
And be parted never more.
In life while on this earth,
He was our eighteen year old son,
Now in the arms of the angels,
Our Pooch will be "Forever Young"
Loved and missed more than words can say.
Remembered every day by Dad and Mom.

Our grandson is safe
In Heaven above,
Held in the arms of angels,
Wrapped in all God's love.
No more will he suffer
The pains of mortal life,
No more will he experience,
Or endure any strife.
His soul will rest easy,
In that peaceful, special place,
Where all lasts forever
And time can't erase.
Forever loved and sadly missed by Nanny and Puppy Schrider.

LANGILLE - In loving memory of my brother,
Gordon "Pooch" G.W. Langille, January 27, 1981-March 21, 1999.
A lot of people in this world
Have a sad and mysterious end
And it is not always a stranger,
It can be a family member or friend;
They may not show their feelings,
They may not give a sign,
But sometimes things are not okay
When you think all is fine.
Suicide can be the result
Of a disease some cannot see;
I am a suicide survivor
And it can happen to you or me.
So I pray we do all we can,
For it will never go away
Worldwide research and prevention
Is what I hope for someday.
I wish I could have been there, Pooch,
I might have made you see
That you were loved so very much,
And you meant the world to me.
Forever loved and sadly missed, sister Jeanne Rose and family.

LANGILLE - In loving memory of my wonderful brother, Gordon G.W. "Pooch",
who passed away on March 21, 1999.
To have had you as my brother,
Was cause enough for pride,
No one could ever equal you,
No matter how hard they tried.
You gave us all you had to give,
Whether big or small,
But most of all you gave us love,
The greatest gift of all.
Though your smile has gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch,
Still we have so many memories,
Of the one we loved so much.
Time may hide the sadness,
Like a smile that hides the tears,
But love and memory hold you close,
Despite the passing years.
Forever in our hearts, sister Jennifer, Shawn and Trent
