Liz Young writes [11th November 2011]:

On this day and every day, you are always in my thoughts.
You passed away far too young, but you will never be forgotten.
Your grandchildren, and great children will know who you are and will learn to love you with much love and treasured memories.
Always, Liz xoxoxo
