Family and friends gathered privately at the beautiful Hillside Cemetery to honour the life of this wonderful lady. Although she will be dearly missed, her memory will not be forgotten.
Think of her often,
It’s not easy to say good-bye…
Thoughts delivered to her in Heaven
On the wings of a butterfly.
Her Life Lived…
Her Life Cherished…
Her Life Honoured.
