In Memoriam

REDDING, Shinikka Marie:18.10.2017
I feel a warmth around me, like your presence is so near.
And I close my eyes to visualize
Your face when you were here.
I endure the times we spent together, and they are locked inside my heart.
As long as I have those memories, we will never be apart.
Even though we cannot speak anymore, my voice is always there,
Because every night before I sleep,
I have you in my prayer.
All our love Mum, Dad and Will.
