RYDER, Mervyn (Merv from Makarewa):
16 February 2021
Two years ago today you left us and our lives will never be the same. Hugely loved best friend and devoted husband of Karen, much loved and respected stepdad, Grandad,
brother, uncle and friend.
Our love is forever,
Even though you’re gone,
Loneliness surrounds me,
Memories linger on,
May the winds of heaven blow softly,
And whisper in your ear,
How much we all love and miss you,
And wish that you were here.
