‘It never stops the tears, but the smile is starting to return a little more’.
‘Happy Birthday to our angel You came into this world at 9.03am 35 years ago. Our first little bundle of joy.
‘Forever young and beautiful We miss you everyday. Life is different without you. Life is quiet without you. Life is not the same without you. We love and miss you baby girl and you will never be forgotten. So precious to so many people’.
