in loving memory of

15th November 1948 - 24th January 2009

More than a decade has slipped away, and I'm sorry thoughts fade so,
Guilty am I for moments missed, where warmth of memories don't flow.

Yet in the family's presence, we find our way, in bonds of blood and care,
Each gathering brings your presence near, a reminder you're always there.

Now watch us blossom with you in hand, as united near and far,
Your eldest son, once wrapped in your love, now gathers strength
from us near & far.

Through your granddaughter's laughter bright, your spirit lingers still,
In her every step, a nuance of your character shines, a reminder of your will.

And with your loving Michael close, you're not alone anymore,
Happy, dear Mummy Jade, as we cherish you forevermore.
