Always In Our Hearts
Mum and Dad Reunited

Her pleasures were simple
her needs were few.
If we were happy, then she
was too.
The most wonderful woman,
Mum, Grandma and Great
Grandma that ever lived.
Whatever she had she was
willing to give.
She never complained, she
wasn't that kind.
Her equal in this world
would be hard to find.
There's a place in our
hearts that is yours alone.
A place in our life no-one
else can own.
Her love was great, her heart
was kind.
A better woman, Mum, Grandma
and Great Grandma no-one can find.
- Love Cheryl and Dennis; Kate; Thomas and Ligia and Family; Ryan and Hannah and Family
