Mc GLONE
Paddy
8th Anniversary

In loving memory of a devoted father and grandad who died on 22nd January 2018.

Our lives go on without you,
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartache
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the family who dearly loved you,
Silent are the tears that fall,
Living each day without you
Is the hardest part of all.
