As I sat by my window, Looking out at the grey sky, Tears rolled down my cheeks, As it’s finally time to say goodbye. Goodbye to a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Who was always there, Goodbye to a familyWho always showed care, Someone whom I turn to, I don’t know how to move on. Someone whom I relate to, But now you’re gone. But then a bluebird came, And sat by my window. The sun starts shining, And evaporated all my sorrow. Good memories came, To wash away the sadness. Mended my heart and filled it with gladness. I wiped away my tears, And now that you’re gone, I can’t give up now I have to move on.

Passed away at Clarkson House on Friday, 3 November, 2017, beloved husband of the late Sylvia. We little knew that morning, God was to call your name, In life we loved you dearly , In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Forever in our hearts.
