In Memoriam
Trevor ALLEN
Two years already and it feels like yesterday. When you left, the kids and I pledged to honour you by embracing change, being excited to learn new things and by truly enjoying life just as you did.
None of us have mastered the guitar yet (but in all honesty, neither did you lol), but we're all out here, living and loving each and every day. We'll always miss you - that's a given - but rest assured that you live on in all of us.
We love you, our sweet dad and grandpa xxxxx
Lindsay Marie BULLOCK
Twelve years ago today our hearts were broken when you went away. We miss you every day and will love you forever. Love Mom, Dad, Clare, John and Holly x x x x x
