In Memoriam

FARRELLY, Kylie Ann:
21.04.1963 – 03.06.2012
10 years gone
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother’s arms,
And tell her they’re from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek,
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
But there’s an ache within my heart,
That will never go away.
Dearly loved and remembered by
– Dennis, Nick, Essie, Conor, Olivia, Alan, and Jacinta.
