In Memoriam

HARPER, Michelle Rose:
To my missing piece, Mich.
I’m sending a dove to Heaven with a parcel on its wings…
Be careful when you open it, it’s full of beautiful things.
Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs…
To say how much I miss you and to send you all my love.
I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain…
To walk with me throughout my life, until we meet again.
Our family is not the same without you.
Love always Rach xxx

In loving memory of a much loved grandaughter who passed away a year ago today.
Beautiful memories silently kept,
