To my dear brother,

Today marks the second anniversary of your death.
Though you are no longer with us Tony
Your laughter still echoes in our hearts,
We talk about you all the time,
About the laughs we enjoyed together,
The conversations we had,
The family bond we shared
You were everything we could wish for in a brother and more.
You were unique and we loved you so very much.
You will always be in our hearts and minds,
We miss you,
We miss your smile, your joking ways,
We miss all the things you used to say,
And when these old times we recall,
It's then we miss you most of all.

Thank you for being you, we were lucky to have you for a brother.
We hope your at peace now Tony
and that our family is whole again someday.
Until then Goodnight, God bless.

Love you with all my heart and soul,
Sheila

TIME SLIPS BY AND LIFE GOES ON
BUT IN OUR HEARTS YOU'VE NEVER GONE
WE THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS WE TALK ABOUT YOU TO
WE HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES
BUT WISH WE STILL HAD YOU.

Thank you for being the kindest warmest and most caring brother we were so lucky to have who cheered us with your special and unique sense of humour all through life no matter what. Two years ago today the brightest light in our family went out and left an empty space in all our hearts. Love and miss you forever Tony xx love Lynne xx 🩵🩵🙏🩵🩵🙏🩵🩵

Remembering a beloved brother on his birthday. Happy Birthday Tony.

Our hearts have missed your laughter,
Since the day you had to leave,
The times we spent together
Meant the world to me.
So many happy memories
as a family,
Your jokes and laughter brought fun
and joy into our lives.
Such carefree days now in the past
but the love and memories
will forever last.
Im so grateful for the years we had,
the closeness we all shared
Your thoughtfulness and loyalty
and how you always cared.
I think of you in silence
and make no outward show
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.

Happy Birthday up above,
Still our brother,
Still our love.

Loving and missing you always
Sheila ❤️XXXXXXXX

'Someone is Missing at Christmas'

Let this be a loving reminder
That someone is missing today
Someone our hearts still hold on to,
As we travel along lifes way.
Someone who made life special,
For all of us that are here.
Someone who cant be forgotten,
But cherished from year to year,
and now as we stop to remember
our memories we recall,
How deeply each of us loved you Tony,
and how much you loved us all.

In memory of a much loved and greatly missed brother at Christmas
and always.

Sheila
