In Memoriam
SMITH, John Robert (Grandad Bob). May 14, 2017
Tears silently fall that others don’t see,
For the kind loving Grandad that meant the world to us.
You always had a smile to share,
Time to give and time to care,
Never selfish, always kind,
Such happy memories you have left behind.
– Love from Kerry, Peter, Jessica and Caleb xx
SMITH, John Robert (Bob). 14.05.2017
His nature was loving and giving,
His heart was made of pure gold,
And to us who truly love him,
His memory will never grow old.
– Love from Audrey and Ron and family. xxx
