"Loved by all Brothers and Sisters. Always in our thoughts."
"Until we meet again"

The call was sudden, the blow severe, To part with one we loved so dear: Only those who have lost can tell The bitter parting without farewell. From Mum and Dad Without farewell he fell asleep, With only memories to keep: Sleep on, dear brother, God knows best, On earth there's strife; in heaven rest Sadly missed but not forgotten, from Brothers and Sisters We often sit and think of him, When we are all alone For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. Our thoughts are with you always. Sister Edith (London) and Will
