In Memoriams
Dad, I can’t believe 8 years have passed. I would do anything to get you back. I miss you every day. The pain of losing you will never go away and I don’t think I will ever recover. You were always there for me and I’m lost without you. I need my Dad and my boys need their Grandad. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever and I would have looked after you. Until you come for me, all my love for now and always H x
Remembered with love and greatly missed by Jac, Les, Jen, Flora and Andy in this 25th year.
