It’s been the hardest thing to lose you. You meant so much to me, But you are in my heart my love, And that’s where you will always be. I know that Heaven called you, But I wish you could have stayed. At least the memories I have of you, They will never fade. I did not want to lose you, But you did not go alone Because a part of me went with you When Heaven called you home. So just remember one thing We are not apart, You’re with me in my memories And in my broken heart. Love and miss you Ruth xx
(Gilley) We miss you everyday but still treasure the memories. Love from Marie, Dave and family.
