In Memoriams
Victoria Elizabeth BALDAM
Died 8th November 2002. Memories are the loveliest things, they last from day to day, they don't get lost, they don't wear out and cannot be taken away. If we could only have you back, just for an hour or two, we'd put our arms around you just like we used to do. We'd tell you that we love you and kiss your lovely face. The pain still hurts, the memories are still clear, we wish in our hearts that you were still here. You're not just a memory or part of the past, you will be loved and missed for as long as life lasts. We think about you often, we talk about you still, you haven't been forgotten, you know you never will. Love and miss always sweetheart. Mam, Dad and big brother Ian.
