In Memoriam
AGNEW, Isobel Christina:
2.7.1934 – 9.2.2013
Mum, where have the 10 years gone.
We never lose the ones we love, for love itself lives on,
And the times we shared together are never really gone,
They live within the memories of those who were so dear,
Memories to comfort us and keep our loved ones near.
– Loved by your girls, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
