In Memoriam

Seven years ago today my beautiful children were selfishly taken away from my family, friends and myself. Every year I shall remind people of what a tragic loss this is and to never forget. "Bradley and Ellen, you are always in my heaty, and I miss you every day." - Lots of love, Mum

Feel free to leave a comment on Bradley or Ellen's pages if you wish to take them over. I am more than happy to accomodate you and help you remind people of your loss.
