IN MEMORY

GARY CHANDLER
8/13/43 — 3/22/02

I thought of you today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part.
God has you in His arms,
I have you in my heart.
Your Loving Family

We miss your hugs and kisses and those funny jokes.
We love you!

IN MEMORY

LUTHER ''LU'' AHRENS
12/25/1945 — 3/6/2011

God saw him getting tired.
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched him,
and saw him pass away.
Although we loved him dearly,
we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating;
hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
I’m waiting around the bend my huckleberry friend,
Moon River… and me.

1987 -- 25 years ago: Thirty-one Moline High School student bakers showed up for class Thursday with flour, pie-filling and measuring cups in hand as hopeful entrants in the school's Tenth Annual Pie Baking Contest. The student bakers, mostly from foods and nutrition and independent living classes, sweated over a hot baking oven on an unusually humid morning. The heat didn't dampen the bakers' eagerness to win the blue ribbon for best pie, but it did put a dent in more than one meringue. Eleven boys and 20 girls

entered this year's contest.
