Dear Margaret, Brian, Helen, John, Stephen and Catherine,

A daily thought, a silent tear,
A secret wish that you were still here,
An empty space no one else can fill,
We dearly miss you and always will.

Always loved and remembered.
Auntie Kathleen, Chris, Colleen, Michael, James and Terence

In loving memory of our beloved son & brother Bernard.

There are no words
There is sympathy
There is grief
There is understanding
There are memories and prayers and love
But there are no words.

Love from Mum & Dad, Helen, John, Stephen & Catherine.

We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories and your picture in a frame
God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our heart
Always loved and remembered
Love Auntie Kathleen, Chris, Colleen, Michael, James and Terence
