Our Guardian Angel
A woman of much strengh with the heart of a lion. Love which knows no bounds unconditional in every sense of the world. Her time is now over and all we can do is look to the sky and say I love you. Always in our heart and in the smiles of our loved ones to be reunited with her once our time comes. A guardian angel to guide us through our trails here for each of us. Though she is not present always in our prayers and on our mind a beautiful soul, always through time.
Written by her grandson, James Gayle
