Elizabeth Mary "Betty" Perrott - Law
Loving memories of a much loved Mother and Grandmother, February 6th 1986. If roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her we love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, We do it every day, But there's an ache within our heart that will never go away. Love Christine and Alison xxx
