I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence as I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part.
God has you in His keeping. I have you in my heart.

Dear Sandra, Sylvia and Maureen,
I am deeply grieved to hear of your Mother's sudden death. Knowing the close bond you shared with her I am sure that you are going through the most difficult and trying time.Please accept my sincere condolences and know that my prayers are always with you. Through the stories my Father and Aunt's told me about your Mother I realised at an early stage what a gem she really was,and certainly a pleasure to be around. Her simple and caring ways that made everyone feel comfortable will always be remembered. Beautiful and serene, whilst she was on earth, I pray that she enjoys the bliss of angels in her eternal abode.
With Love and Heartfelt sympathies.
Love from your nephew Anthony and wife Julie and all the McGilloway, Hutton, Neary, Irving and Martin family in England, United Kingdom xxxx
