Mum,

Our words are few,

Our thoughts are deep,

Wonderful memories are ours to keep,

Now in peace,

Love Susan and Richard

and there you will remain.

If flowers grow in heaven God,

please pick a bunch,

place them in our beautiful Mum’s arms

and tell her they’re from us.

Tell her that we love and miss her

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek

and hold her for awhile.

Forever in our hearts.

Diane and Russell.

 

Though her smile is gone forever,

And her hand we cannot touch,

We still have so many memories,

Of our Nana, who we loved so very much.

You’ll never be forgotten Nana,

We’ll just close our eyes and see,

Your smiling face and feel your love,

Because in our hearts, you will always be.

Dearly loved and respected by Rick and Kaytee,

Mitch and Chels, Gav and Cayte, Sam and Jack.
