In Memoriam

HERBERT, Alana Cooee:
4 years today.
Grief never ends,
But it changes,
It’s a passage,
Not a place to stay,
Grief is not a sign of weakness,
Nor a lack of faith,
It is the price of true love.
Forever in my heart
– Stuart.

MATTHEW, Margaret Ioana:
Three years have gone and I’m still alone.

MOLLOY, Gwenda Joy:
08.07.2021
One year ago we said goodbye to our much loved wife, mum and Nan-nan.
Until We Meet Again.
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile
If only I could have you back for just a little while
Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do.
You always meant so very much and always will do too.
The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain
But you’re forever in my heart until we meet again.
Loved and forever missed by your family.
