Loving Memory of A Dear Sister

To My Sister…

Remember As I sit here in the silence, I remember days gone by, I think of all the memories as I begin to cry. I know my heart is aching for the vision of your face, instead I look at photos and remember your embrace. You will never be forgotten, I know that much is true, each day I will make sure to love and honor you. Although my heart is broken and will never be the same, each day I live my life until I meet you once again

In Loving Memory of our Wonderful Niece Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our Niece was the greatest gift of all. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper in your ear “We love and miss you and wish that you were here”

I’m blessed to call you sister, I also call you friend;

My dearest darling Sister How can I find the words to say To tell of how I miss you Throughout every single day? I miss our little chats - The way you’d listen to me moan And how you’d always cheer me up Whenever you would phone.

You’ve loved me unconditionally, And stood through thick and thin. You’ve shared my joys and sorrows, My laughter and my tears. You’ve been my inspiration, As we grew up through the years. When we were little children We laughed and played together; Then growing up you stood by me, Through good and stormy weather. There’s something God has given us, That’s more than family; He’s placed a love for you, my Sister, Deep down in the heart of me.

Living life without you Is so very hard to bear

And I’d give all I have to waken And to see you standing there.

Deep in our hearts, your life is kept to love and cherish, not forget. No more tomorrows we can share but yesterdays are always there.

From Dawn

A silent thought, a secret tear keeps your memory ever near in our hearts forever. xxx
