Music is what brought us together
And will stay
Within our hearts forever
But God found He liked music too
So one day he called for you.
He placed you there
With all the rest
Which was our loss
As you were the best.
Today would have been the 36th anniversary of our marriage. Daphne.

NAUDI. Loving memories of ALFRED, a dear father and grandfather, on his 28th anniversary. His family.
