You suffered so much in silence,
Your spirit did not bend,
You fought to live with courage,
Until the very end.
We knew we had to lose you,
Your days were slipping by.
We tried so very hard to hide the pain,
We couldn't let you see us cry,
You tried to keep us smiling,
You were so very brave,
To us you are so special,
You never once complained.
Leaves and flowers will wither,
The sun will alway set,
But the hearts that truly love you,
Are the ones that won't forget.

Goodnight and God bless to you both. From your broken hearted daughter Jane, Dave, Emma-Jane and Mark. xxxx.
