We stand here today
To honour those passed.
And share the love of two people
Forever in our hearts.

You married so young
And built solid foundations.
And then produced
Four of god’s greatest creations.

Your home was always full
Of the smell of fresh treats.
While the noise from downstairs
Meant new toys from hammer beats.

Your bowling prowess
Was admired by all.
And for many long years
You kept rolling that ball.

Then along came the grandkids
The great grandkids and more love.
But you were never afraid.
To get stern and give them a shove.

Christmas was the best
With your home a festive feast.
Our tummies were full
To the brim to say the least.

Then when two became one
We did our best to cope.
And we were left with our Boompa
Boy was he a top bloke!

The memories we created
And the love that we shared.
Will live within us all
And cannot be compared.

Your souls are now one
And you are reunited again.
And it is with a heavy heart
That we say goodbye and amen.
