In Memoriam

BAGRIE, Nathan.
“Loving memories”
Love – Raewyn, Robert, and Angela xxx.

BAGRIE, Nathan Albert John (Bags).
Tragically and senselessly taken as a result of an accident on December 15, 1996.
It broke my heart to lose you Nathan,
But you didn’t go alone,
A part of me went with you son,
The day God called you home.
A million times I’ve thought of you,
A million times I’ve cried,
If loving you could have saved you son,
You would have never died.
“Miss you a lot Nathan”
Much love – Dad xxx.
