Dearest Colin,What you suffered you told but few
You didn’t deserve what you went throughThey never said you had M.R.S.A
Wish we knew then what we know todayTired and weary ... You made no fuss,
You tried so hard to stay with usBut God saw that the road was getting tough -
The hills too steep to climb .....He put his arms around you and whispered ...
Colin - Peace be Thine(You are only ever a whisper away Colin –
Love you for always )From your heartbroken family
and your little dog Ladyx x x x x
