DOYLE – Avril, April 16, 1962 – October 26, 2019.
In loving memory of a special wife.
The day you left and gained your wings my heart just broke in two
I wish you could have stayed with me but Heaven needed you
You left me with the memories and I love you dearly still
No matter how much time goes by you know I always will
You were a very special person with kindness in your heart
And the love we had together grows stronger now we’re apart
I know I cannot bring you back although I wish it every day
But a piece of me went with you the day you went away.
Loved and missed dearly.
– Colin and family.
