In Memoriams
Sadly passed away 5 years ago today. We miss you so much Mam but we all have our very special memories of you. You will be in our hearts and thoughts forever. One day we’ll be all together again. With all our love to you. xxxxxx
In loving memory of the most precious of precious jewels. My wife, my Vicky, my life. Taken from us 18 years ago today. Some things we cannot measure, like the strength of the waves and the depth of the sea, the number of stars in the Heavens and the breeze we cannot see. Like forever lasting eternity and the summers golden hue, there’s no way on earth to measure the depth of my love for you. I will always love you Vicky. I miss you so very much. God bless you my darling. Love you forever. Devoted Husband Pete xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(Banks) It is now a year since you passed away in my arms. I think about or time together every day. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my love. Dave xxx
