In Memoriam
ANDERTON, Gerald Guy (Gerry):
5.11.1924 – 13.8.2015
ANDERTON, Barbara:
12.4.1927 – 18.9.2021
We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Missed every day by Ruth, Liz, Sue and Yvonne and families.
A heart of gold, a laugh of pure joy,
A kindness that extended to all she knew.
That was our Wife, Mum and Nana.
The world is poorer without you in it.
Today marks a year since your suffering ceased.
Forever in our hearts
and memories
Ray, Steph and Tim, Bryce and Emma, Sam, Lily, Evie and Elli.
