In Memoriam

BUCHAN, Marion:
One year ago today our beloved Mum and Nana passed away.
Though her smile is gone forever and her hand I cannot touch,
I still have so many memories of the one I loved so much.
Her memory is now my keepsake which with I’ll never part.
God has her in his keeping.
I have her in my heart.
Sadly missed but never forgotten.
