My beautiful Mum, You inspired us with your strength, passion and generosity. We will cherish the memories and hold you forever in our hearts. I will always love you God Bless. - Di. Every day I need you Lord, But this day especially. I need some extra strength, To face whatever is to be. This day more than any day, I need to feel you near, To fortify my courage, And to overcome my fear.
