We still miss you with every
beat of our heart sweet angel.
We know that you are with
your fur-baby-Lori-cat,
flying with the butterflies,
in a field of sunflowers,
looking for the magical unicorns
that you always believed in.
Feel our love as we feel yours.
Hugs and kisses,
Mum – Ross – Doug – Dad – Nathan and family xxxxxx.
