Birthday Memoriams

PAT SHACKLOCK It is now over five months since your passing darling.  The grief of your physical absence does not grow old or fade away. The presence of sadness is felt at all times hidden behind a simple smile, or clearly displayed by tears. I miss you so much sweetheart. So until we meet again I kiss your soul. Your loving husband Terry xxx   view...
