RICHARDSON, Phyllis Ruth. ‘Phyl’
Dearest Mum
Tired and weary, you made no fuss
You tried so hard to stay with us.
Tears in my eyes will wipe away
But the love in my heart
Is here to stay.
Your loving daughter Rachelle xxxx


RICHARDSON, Phyllis Ruth. ‘Phyl’
Dear Mum
God looked around His garden,
And found an empty space
He looked upon the earth
And found a tired face
He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest
The garden must be beautiful
because He only takes the best.
Love Sharon and David


RICHARDSON, Phyllis Ruth. ‘Phyl’
Dear Nana
“ You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you’re always at our side”
Love Grandaughters Katie and Courtney xxx
