In Loving Memory

In loving memory of...

Jacob

Our sweet little baby, who arrived in this world too early to survive

You were only with us for a short time, too short

But you shall live forever in our hearts.

God had other plans for you, our precious little one.

For you are with our Heavenly Father now. I know that

When my time comes, I will be with you once again...

Jacob passed away on 14 November 1993

For my Mother...

Jean

My Mum was a loving, kind and warm person.

I miss her very much. She passed away just when I needed her most. She

Has been gone for 20 years now. I can't believe it's been that long.

I know she is at peace now, no pain or sorrow.

I long for Christ's return to be reunited with all my loved ones who have gone to be with Him.

My Mum chose the following poem to help comfort those she left behind...

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven dear ones

Oh, so happy and so bright

There is perfect joy and beauty

All the pain and grief is over

Every restless tossing passed

I am now at peace forever

Safely home in Heaven at last

Did you wonder I so calmly

Trod the valley of the Shade?

Oh but Jesus' love illumined

Every dark and fearful glade

And He came himself to meet me

In that way so hard to tread

And with Jesus' arm to lean on

Could I have one doubt or dread

Then you must not grieve so sorely

For I love you dearly still

Try to look beyond earth's shadows

Pray to trust Our Father's Will

There is work still waiting for you

So you must not idly stand

Do it now while life remaineth

You shall rest in Jesus' land

When that work is all completed

He will gently call you Home

Oh the rapture of that meeting

Oh the joy to see you come

To me these words say it all....

My Mum, Jean, passed away on 4 June 1978

For my Father...

Robert

I have always been "daddy's little girl", I guess that sort of goes along with being the youngest. Our relationship was not always the easiest, but I know that we loved each other very much. I guess we had our difficulties because we were so much alike

My dad had been ill for a very long time. He was an avid gardener. So even though I miss him terrible, I know that he is in a far better place. I can picture him in Heaven in his gardening clothes, a hoe in hand, tending to his rows of vegetables and flowers! To those who knew my dad, they know this is so very true!
