Birthday Memoriams

MAUREEN ANNE DENNIS 66 years old today. My love for you will never fade away. Love ~ Pete. Goodnight my Flower.   view...

MAUREEN DENNIS  Happy Birthday Mum and Nanny.  Grandad's Flower. A Rose once grew where all could see sheltered beside a garden wall, and as the days passed swiftly by it spread it's branches straight and tall. One day a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide the rose bent gently towards it's warmth then passed beyond to the other side. Now we who deeply feel our loss are comforted - the rose blooms there, your beauty even greater now nurtured by God's loving care. All our love ~ now, forever and always. Patsy, Garry, Nathan & Sarah. xxx   view...
