Three years ago today, sometimes it feels like only yesterday that we had to say goodbye. There will never be a day when we won’t think of you and wish you were here by our sides.
So dearly missed
and loved always.

A Mum’s love is special,
A gift beyond compare,
You only know the meaning,
When she is no longer there.

SINCLAIR, Heather Alice:
18.02.1949 – 02.09.2017
Today is the third anniversary of your passing,
There are no words to express,
Exactly how we feel,
You were our world,
Not a moment passes by,
Without the thought of you in our mind.
We love and miss you beyond words.
“Love you forever”
– From you loving husband Donald, and son Paul.
