CUNNINGHAM, Daphne Dawn:
In loving memory of our wonderful mum, mother-in-law and grandmother who passed away 20 years ago today.
Close to our hearts she will always stay,
Loved and remembered every day.
A grin, a laugh, a joke or two,
That’s the way we remember you.
Our love is strong, our sadness deep,
Our hearts are with you as you peacefully sleep.
Sadly missed
– From all her family.
