In Memoriams
(nee Perry) Treasured memories of my dearest only child Louise, who passed away eight years today and joined her beloved dad John a month after he departed. Oh my Louise, each day and night I remember you and recall all the precious times we were together. How I long for you to call me Mum and to chat and laugh like we used to. You meant so much to me my beautiful girl, that I know I shall miss and mourn you forever. The day you were born I was filled with so much love and wonderment, I thought I would burst with happiness and yet as I held your hand and kissed your beautiful face when you took your last breath, I knew such heartbreak I thought my world had ended. Oh how I love you my darling Louise. I will forever mourn your passing and miss you always. With all my love to my wonderful daughter. Sleep tight, God Bless you and loads of kisses to you from me. From your sorrowful and ever-loving Mum. xxx
