Our deepest gratitude goes to Father Matthew King for his most gentle kindness to our Mum on her last journey and the beautiful funeral service he led for Mum that gave us all so much comfort and peace during this deeply sad time.

God saw you getting tired,

So he put his arms around you and whispered,

“Come with me”

With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you fade away,

Although we love you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Your tender hands at rest,

God took you home to prove to us he only takes the best.
