In Memoriam

Grandad Laurence Woods 6.6.1942-4.4.2022
While we wish you were still here,
we know you had to go,
To much trouble to get into upstairs,
Others who needed you,it’s ok,we know.
We know you are having a ball up there,
And will be there for us when it’s our time,
But for now we are just content,
Knowing you are watching all us kids shine.
So enjoy you beer,try to behave and we will see you somewhere along the way,
miss you heaps,love you forever and think of you everyday.
All the grand and great grandkids.
