In Memoriam

In Memory WILLIAM BOWEY Died 24th April 2002. A year ago you were taken out of our lives, A hole that could never be filled. An only brother any sister would want, I miss you every day. Your loving sister Louise, Brian and family.

Loving Memory WILLIAM BOWEY Passed away 24th April 2002. Though the tears in our eyes no longer glisten, And our faces not always reflect the sadness, Nor the void in our lives not be noticed But deep in our hearts there's the longing, For the wonderful Son we once had. Loved forever Forgotten never - Mum and Dad.
