STACEY. – Geoff.
My Nanna rang at half past eight,
To tell my Daddy that God could not wait,
That He had whisked you off to Heaven,
To go fishing amongst the stars.
But there were tears in Daddy's eyes,
As he remembered you, as you were in life.
He told me of the time, when he came round with Mummy,        
How you wiped a tear, when he said I was in her tummy.          
He told me how proud he was to see me,          
Sit for the first time upon your knee,       
I was so small, but in safe hands,           
And when I learnt to smile I saved my best ones just for you.
The time we had together was so much fun,
We laughed and played with all my toys,
You dressed me up in blue and white,
But Daddy said that wasn't right.
I can't believe you've gone, but I know you'll be watching over me.
Goodnight Grandad,
I'll see you in my dreams.
Love Isaac. XXX
STACEY. – Geoff. Our brother taken from us before we had time to say goodbye. Now in safe hands with Mum and Dad.
Each night we shed a silent tear,
As we speak to you in prayer.

Take our million teardrops,
Wrap them up in love,
Then ask the wind to carry them,
To you in Heaven above.
Always in our hearts and thoughts until we meet again. – Love David and Peter.

ZOLLER. – Doreen Elsie. Passed away March 11th, 2008. Mum, words will never express how we feel at losing you so suddenly. Free from pain at last, no more suffering.
Every step we take,
Every move we make,
Every single day,
Every time we pray,
We'll be missing you.
Thinking of the day,
When you went away,
What a life to take,
What a bond to break,
We'll be missing you.
In our hearts forever ... Wendy and Clive. XXX
