LEGG -George William. Seven years of heartache & loneliness, since you have been gone. The memories of you my darling George will always live on. I look above, with the skies of blue, the sun on my cheek is like a kiss from you. I can hear your voice when gentle winds blow, I can feel your hand when I touch the snow. Although you are now with the angels above, you are always with me because of our love. Our memories together now we are apart, i'll always keep there in my broken heart. How much longer have I got my life. I was so proud and happy, my darling of being your wife. Until we are in each others arms again. All my love forever-Helen xx
