In Memoriam

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

BAGRIE, Nathan Albert John (Bags):
Tragically and senselessly taken as a result of an accident on December 15, 1996.
I hold you close in memory Son,
Even though we are apart,
Your spirit will live forever,
With my broken heart,
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow,
For what it meant to lose you Nathan,
No one will ever know,
In heaven we shall meet again,
Where farewell is never spoken,
We shall clasp each other hand in hand,
And the clasp shall never be broken.
“Miss you so much Son”
Much love – Dad xxxx.

It’s been a year since our one of a kind Mum and Granny passed away. She’ll be catching up with Ethel and Bruce and Jody, making outrageous comments, but having a laugh and enjoying being pain free. It’s been a huge year and I know you would have been watching over us all and giving us the strength to carry on without you. It was a privilege to have you as our Mum and Granny.
There’s a family who misses you sadly,
In a home where you used to be,
A family who wanted to keep you,
But alas that was not to be.
You left us beautiful memories,
And sorrow too great to be told,
But to us who loved and lost you,
Your memory will never grow old.
Lots of love Bonita, Brennan, Jazz and Piper
