Mum, little did we know that morning, God was going to call your name. No farewell was spoken, no time to say goodbye. We didn't always see eye to eye. The ups and downs that we did share, I lie awake at night when the world's asleep I take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheek. No one sees my broken heart, that lies beneath the smile. No one knows the loneliness, that's with me all the while. No matter how life changes, no matter what I do Mum a special place within my heart is always there for you. Your Loving Daughter Dawn Mum, you were taken so suddenly with no time for goodbyes.
I will treasure my memories and keep them in my heart. Love and miss you always Lorraine To our mum in Heaven, thank you for always loving us and guiding us. Even though you are no longer here with us we can still feel your love and you are always in our heart. We love and miss you dearly Andrew, Karen, James and Mia xxxx All enquiries to Co-op Funeralcare 12-14 Morshead Road Crownhill Plymouth PL6 5AJ 01752 303830.
