Acknowledgement & First Anniversary

In loving memory of our beloved Ciara whose 1st anniversary occurs on 26th January 2023. 

Deeply missed by her adored children, Emily-Rose, Harry, Aimee, Chloe-Grace, heartbroken Mom Margaret, sisters Valerie & Deborah, brother-in-law Timmy, niece Kate, nephews Ruairí & Charlie, aunts, uncles and large circle of close friends. 

They say there is reason, 

They say that time will heal, 

But neither time or reason

Will change the way we feel. 

For no one knows the heartache, 

That lies behind our smiles, 

No one knows how many times, 

We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, 

So there won't be any doubt, 

You're so wonderful to think of, 

But hard to be without. 

We cannot bring the old days back,

When we were all together, 

The family chain is broken now,

But memories live forever x

 

As we lovingly remember Ciara on her first anniversary, we would like to take this oppertunity to thank you all who sympathised with us on our devesting loss. We were deeply touched by the volume of cards, phone calls, kind words and RIP messages of condolences. It was a great comfort to us to hear the love and admiration you all had for Ciara.
