Nan, as we have celebrated your long life and said goodbye, we thank you so much for being part of our lives and the love you shared with us all. You have found peace and eternal rest.
May you see your life's kindness in all the tears that fall for you every day. Go knowing you were so loved and respected in supporting me; and are so missed everyday.

Mum you are in our hearts and minds, and will be carried forward in our lives. Thanks for everything you did, loved and taught us.
You passed from this world for which you did so much and continue to do. We walk this earth with you and leave us with the strength to carry on with pride to do good and right with you at our side. We thank you so much.

May the light of love shine on you and those who cared for you.
Now join your loving husband and render us with great memories to our hearts for the rest of our days.
Joseph and Dave
