A limb has fallen from the family tree, I keep hearing a voice that say ‘grieve not for me’,

Remembering the best times, the laughter, the songs, the good life I lived while I was strong.

Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you,

Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my body at rest,

Remembering all how I truly was blessed.

From your loving sister Dorothy and much-loved nieces and nephews, Karen, Shaun, Martin, Jayne and Lisa.
