In Memoriam
BLACK, Margaret Rose.
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother’s arms,
And tell her they’re from me.
One year has passed
Your love lives on in our hearts
Missed Mum of Deborah and Brendon, cherished partner of Dave, loved sister, sister-in-law, Aunty and friend.
KANE, John Joseph (Jimmy).
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still Loved, Still Missed and Very dear.
– Margaret, Peter, Paul, Simon and families.
TOPPING, Catherine Mary.
In loving memory of a special mum, wife, nan and sister, who passed away one year ago today.
If I could have a lifetime wish
And one dream that could come true
I would pray to God with all my heart,
Just to see and speak to you.
A thousand words won’t bring you back,
I know because I’ve tried.
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I’ve cried.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day.
But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.
Loved and Missed so much
– Tony, Shelley, Ross, Ella, Sam, Tim, Margaret and Marie
