Poem For Steve
As I wake each morning realising your still gone, I hope it's a dream and that it's all wrong.
The days go by the pain so real,
The shock your gone will be hard to heal.
Memories of you will live on from within,
remembering your wit, your charm and your grin.
For my 51 years you were to me,
Steve - Uncle Steve, and forever you will be.
So very proud to have been your niece,
nows the time to Rest In Peace.

To my Dear Daddy
My star in heaven
I am sending a dove to heaven with a parcel on its wings, be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things, inside are a million kisses wrapped up in a million hugs, to say how much I miss you and to send you all my love. I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain, to walk with me throughout my life until we meet again.
Love always
— Amber.
