In Loving Memory

22nd Anniversary

Twenty-two years have passed, yet your laughter still echoes in the corners of our hearts.

Though time has carried us forward, it has never carried you away. Your kindness, your smile, your strength remain stitched into our lives.

We miss you in quiet moments, in celebrations, in days unspoken. Gone from our sight, but never from our souls —loved then, loved now, loved always.

Fondly missed by your loving mother, siblings, nephews and nieces, family and friends.
