In Memoriam
McMASTER, Doug (Mooch). 24.11.2017
One year on, Still hard to believe you’re gone.
Remembering you is easy we do it every day,
It’s just the pain of losing you that never goes away.
The kid’s continue to grow,
And speak of the ‘Poppa’ they love and know.
What we would give to hear your voice and see you again.
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.
Never more than a thought away,
Loved and rememberedevery day.
Love – Deborah, Regan, Dylan, Adam and Olivia
