First Anniversary

In loving memory of our beautiful mother Mary whose First Anniversary occurs on 28th September 2025.

A beloved mother who is sadly missed and always remembered by

Shirley, Hazel, Janet, Paul, John.

 

Don't think of her as gone away

her journey's just begun,

life holds so many facets

this earth is only one.

And as she is resting

from the sorrow and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think of her as living

in the hearts of those she touched

for nothing loved is ever lost

and she was loved so much.

We miss you Mum, our hearts are sore

As time goes by we miss you more

Your loving smile, your gentle face

 No one can fill your vacant place.

we will always love and cherish you xx.

Simon, Grace,Jack, Sarah, Tom, Eve, Jake, Ben, Luke, Joe and Caragh.
