3rd ANNIVERSARY

Donna GLENN

Died 1st January 2023

The day you left and gained your wings
Our hearts just broke in two,
I wish you could have stayed with us
But Heaven needed you.

You left us with the memories
And we love you dearly still.
Not matter how much time goes by
You know we always will.

You were a very special person
With kindness in your heart,
And the love we had together
Grows stronger now we're apart.

We know we cannot bring you back
Although we wish it every day,
But a piece of us went with you
The day you went away.

Sorely missed by her husband John and son Stephen.

First Anniversary
Muranna Moore
31st December 2024

One year without my Mum, Daughter, Sister, Aunt and friend.
A year of missing you in ways I didn’t know were possible.
Not a day goes by where you aren’t thought of — in quiet moments, in laughter, in the sky, in the little things that still remind us of you.
We carry you with us always.
Loved, missed, and remembered — today and every day.

Those we hold most dear,
Never truly leave us,
They live on in the kindness they showed,
The comfort they shared,
And the love they brought into our lives.

15th ANNIVERSARY

Elizabeth Morrison (née Deery)

In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother who died on 28th of December 2010 RIP

We think of things you used to say,
And all that you would do,
At some point, every single day,
Our thoughts will turn to you.

To lose you was a bitter wrench,
The pain cut to our core,
We cried until our tears ran out,
And then we cried some more.

This wouldn’t be your wish for us,
That we’d be ever sad,
So we'll try to remind ourselves,
Of happy times we had.

We know we can’t be with you now,
And you can’t be with us,
But safe inside our hearts you’ll stay,
That’s where you’ll always be.

Sadly missed by her daughters Maryann, Kathleen and Lisa, sons in law Stephen and Sono, grandchildren Beth, Natalie, Lauren, Laura, Matthew and Anna and great grandson Rían.

St Martin pray for her.
