Now Mum is there, your hand in hers, In Heaven’s peace that never stirs. Though I can’t see you, I know it’s true, You’re both watching, & guiding me through. Tiamo per sempre. Love you . From your Daughter Susan and Son in law Mario. Xx Dad, I miss you more each day, In my heart, you’ll always stay. I think of all the things you taught, And all the love that you still brought. Now Mum is there beside you too, Together again, the way you two knew. Nineteen years have passed us by. Love you Dad . From your Son Steven and Daughter in law Sharon xx

Mum how can it be 28 years that you left us. I have so many wonderful memories of you and I miss you so much. Life would have been so different if you had been here but now you have Grandad and Grandma with you. Forever in our hearts love Maria, Matt and Izzy xx

Birthday Memoriams

On your birthday. It does not take a special day, To bring you back to mind, A day without a thought of you, Is impossible to find, Today we light a candle, And say a special prayer, We take a trip down memory lane, And know that your are there. Happy birthday Tom, hope you are celebrating with Dad. Lots of love, your loving family XXXXXXXXX

(Bob) Wishing you a very Happy 68th Birthday in heaven Dad. We miss you so much. We celebrate your birthday, but it’s hard not celebrating with you. Our hearts ache without your presence Dad. You had such a big heart filled with so much love, laughter, kindness and joy – the warmth was all around you. Life is so quiet, different. There’s a hole that doesn’t heal. But we can’t be sad today, it’s your birthday! We celebrate you, Dad. Happy Birthday. Love you x
