In Memoriams

Bernard ATKINSON

July 19th, 1939 - August 5th, 2003. "I could try until forever, yet I'd never find a way to tell of how your loss is still with me every day. You were such a light within my life, so gentle, good and kind and I take comfort in the memories of the joy you left behind". All my love, Jenny x.

Nicholas HOBIN

The anniversary of our precious, adored, treasured and cherished son. 09.10.1976 - 02.08.2009. "OUR NICK". What cannot be said will be wept, love needs no words, words are not enough. Love you mills and crills and trills. Your devoted to you, Mam and Dad xxxxx.

Barbara KELLY

My love, Barbara. Many years my heart has waited, this need for love to be sated. Through my wild, youthful years, my search for love brought many tears. Into manhood whilst I've grown, some wild oats I have sown.

Of many things I've not been proud, wished I could fade into a crowd. Until one day my purple patch, the Gods above they prove they watch. They gave me one sweet glimpse of Heaven, my arms are wide your stake is driven. Not made of wood but pure sweet love, clean and true as a Snow White Dove.

Into your heart my love is taken, your trust in me be never shaken. Until my sands run out of time, my own sweet love you will be mine. I thank our Gods from up above, for giving me my one true love. I try to say to you in verse, you're the centre of my Universe. My love my own sweet shining star, be mine forever darling 'Bra Bra'.

But now my darling you have gone, no more I sing my sad sweet song. I wait alone with memories clear, and shared a quiet silent tear. Don't let life get me down, try to play the happy clown. One day soon my time will come, we'll meet again and have fun.

Birthday Memoriams

Harold PARKER

A loving father true and kind, A beautiful memory left behind. for all of us he did his best, may God grant him eternal rest. Loving Son Graham.
