Gone darling, gone forever, How we miss your smiling face, But you left us to remember, None on earth can take your place. A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still, But death has left a loneliness the world can never fill. I have lost my soul’s companion, A life linked with my own, And day by day I miss you more, As I walk through life alone. Till we meet again.

Your devoted wife, Karen xxx.

Dad, The best memory we shared was the time we spent together between our first hello and our last goodbye. That will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything.

Lots of love forever and always, James, Penelope, Felicity, Emeline and Charles xxxxxx.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part, God has you in His arms, I have you in my heart. Miss and love you.
