In Memoriam
SWAIN, Lorraine. 8.11.1954 – 10.9.2008
Our wonderful Mum, still sorely missed after 10 years. Things we feel most deeply,
Are the hardest things to say.
Mum, we love you, in every way,
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
We’d wish with all our hearts,
For yesterday with you.
Missing you always.
Love Karlie, Anna and Paul
