CASSAR. Cherished and unfading memories of my beloved sister HELEN on the first anniversary of her passing to the Lord. Anne. When blossom breaks on bush and spray, God speaks to all who grieve. There is no death He seems to say. Look up, have faith, believe. Our loved ones pass beyond our sight. We say that they have gone but they are somewhere in the light where life and love go on. So when you see the flowering bush and green leaves on the three, remember it is God's pledge of immortality.

CASSAR - HELEN. Special memories of you we tenderly hold deep in our hearts - treasured and unforgettable just like you. Bernadette, Theresa, Lynn, Karen and families.
