In Memoriam

KELLY, Ann (Granny Ann):
Mum, I see you when the sun sets, You are that shining star
Somewhere beyond the heavens, I know that’s where you are.
May the winds of heaven blow softly, And whisper in your ear,
How much I love and miss you, And wish that you were here.
On my mind and in my heart, Is where you will be,
For just as I am a part of you, You are a part of me.
I know you can’t be with me, But we will never be apart,
So, until the final breath I take, You will live forever in my heart.
“Luv U”- Angie xxoo

We knew a face we loved to see, A voice we loved to hear,
We knew a hand we loved to hold, A smile so warm and dear,
We knew a heart, a loving heart, That was thoughtful, kind and true,
We knew them all and loved them all, Because they belonged to you.
“Miss You Granny Ann”- Pops, Lynzy, Kodi, Rebecca, Bea, Ethan,
Jessica, Macie, and Ruby xoxo

ORMSBY, Dennis Gene:
Always with you,
always with me.
Missing you everyday – Bray, Jacque, Lily and Jane
