In Deepest Sympathy It seems there's very little Anyone can say or do To ease the loss of one who meant So very much to you… But may you find some comfort In the sorrow that you bear, Just knowing there are many hearts That understand and care. The ceremony was beautiful. The Nash, Smith, Wilson, Mc Kinsey, Marks, Redricks and Mc Quarters families.
