In Memoriam

CROFTS, Lyn:
We don’t need a special day to bring you to our minds,
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we wake, we know that you are gone,
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill,
In life we loved you dearly and in death we love you still.
2 years gone by so quickly.
Always on our minds, forever in our hearts.
Love always – Barry, Kelly, Daniel, Millie, Lucy, Tony, Jaz, Jackson, Lucas, Amy, Sam, Koby, Hayley, Chris, Gracie, Hulk and Hugo.

Much missed treasured friend of Dean, Kelly-Anne, Staff and families from Carters Tyre Service Gore.

One year ago today our lives changed forever,
We miss your love, wisdom and beautiful smile,
Your are never far away,
Your memory will stay with us forever.
