In our hearts…

Last week, Frank’s family gathered at Cook’s to honour the life of this much loved man. The family each placed a red rose beside the urn to begin the service lead by Father Iqbal.

When you’re thinking of me.

It’s been one week since heartfelt tributes from the family were spoke in honour of Micheala Bell. Her love for her daughters and her family will leave a lasting legacy. She is now at peace and her memory will not be forgotten.

While she watches us all
