McELHINNEY - JOHN, December 29, 2008, aged 81 years. (In the quiet of the evening, I sit and think of you. I open up my memory book of the things we used to do and as I turn the pages, my eyes are filling with tears, for although I have my memories, I can't hold back the years. I brought you home John, so that we would never be apart, our last days were together love, you were my true brave heart.) - Your broken hearted wife Nancy.

McELHINNEY - JOHN. December 29, 2008.(I have the fondest memories of those childhood years, the times you held me in your arms can chase away my fears. You were always there to listen and help me find my way, there's so much that I owe you for who I am today. So i'd like to say a thank you, though words don't seem enough to repay you for so many gifts but most of all you love.) - Your one and only daughter Linda.
