Dear Jessica,
It's not easy to understand
Why the world can be so cold
Stealing our loved ones away, but
We have got to believe
That you are in a better place
Where you wait for us
Where there are no more tears
And the weak are strong
In this place where
We all shall meet.
Love mum, dad, brother Malcolm, relatives and friends.

GALEA - BARBARA ANNE. Cherished memories of our beloved mother on the 36th anniversary of her demise.
Her smile is gone forever
Her hand we cannot touch
We have so many memories
Of the one we loved so much.
Her memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has her in His keeping
We have her in our hearts.
From her loving children Yvonne, Christina, Adrian and Sarah, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Who can never be replaced.
