Those who have a mother cherish her with care, For you never know the heartache till you see the vacant chair. Always so loving, unselfish and kind, Few on this earth her equal to find. One of the best God could send, A loving mother to the end. God bless.

Betty.

Gran, We had a wonderful grandmother and great-grandmother, One who never really grew old, Her smile was made of sunshine, And her heart was solid gold. To sit for a while and listen, Of memories she had to share, Are treasured forever within our loving care. Now the time has come for Gran to rest, So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep. Sleep tight.

Wyn passed away peacefully on Friday, 19 April, 2013, on Oak Ward, Overdale Hospital, at the age of 64 years, surrounded by his family. God looked around His garden, And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the Earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered ‘Peace be thine’. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Much-loved husband of Anne and devoted father who will be forever cherished by Vicky, Lizzie and her partner Will. Funeral details to follow.
