I refuse to say goodbye, for I know we’ll meet again. Now take your place beside grandad, back where you were happiest, back where you belong.
You filled every life you touched with laughter, warmth and smiles and though you’ll be forever missed, your love will stay with us always.
Now it’s time to spread your laughter in heaven and waltz your days away. You were the very best grandma and I am so honoured you are mine.
So this is not goodbye - only until I see you again.

Rest in peace Auntie Sheila.
You are now at rest and reunited with Uncle Gordon - the love of your life.
I hope you are laughing and joking with everybody like old times. Please give my mum and dad a kiss from me.
Thinking of Julie, Martin and the family at this sad time.
All our love, Vicky, Mick and family xxx

We were a two piece jigsaw, a really perfect fit, Whatever gave us trouble, we'd both face up to it A stronger bond you'd never find, joined from head to toe,
When we were parted, it broke my heart to see you go.
So our loved ones now will miss us, the tears will flow no doubt,
But I hope it gives them comfort, to know that now
I'm not without.
I'm now there with my soulmate, the one I did adore,
Two pieces back together, again a whole jigsaw.
