Ruth - you weren’t English mum when 3 of us kiwis landed on your doorstep. You took us in as if we were your own kids and it was evident very quickly that we were your favourites. You have always held a special place in my heart. My love and support goes to your friends and family. All my love Graeme odams Christchurch New Zealand Cx

Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober, I was carting home a load with manly pride. When my feet began to stutter, I fell in to the gutter, And a pig approached and lay down my my side. Then I lay there in the gutter, My heart was all a flutter. Till a lady passing by was heard to say........... You can tell a man who boozes, by the company he chooses. And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

I leave the sunshine to the Flowers The springtime to the trees. To the Oldfolk I leave a memory Of a Baby upon their knees. I leave the night-time to the dreamers The Songbirds to the blind. I leave the moon above to those I love When I leave the world behind.
