MONTAGUE - LAURA, 30.05.'82-26.09.'98. Dearest Laura, on your 25th birthday.
I cannot help but thinking
What you would have achieved so far.

With knowing where you are.
One wonders though, are you

Waiting for us close by heaven's door.
Our time will come,
We'll see each other once again.
Although for now,
We're busy coping down here.
With love, mummy, daddy, Holly and Sam.
