I miss you, Mum. I know there were dark times in your life and life for us was not easier because of them. But later in your life, you were my confidante even though I can barely remember anything now. You laughed hard and cried hard. You loved our God with all of your heart and later, you loved your children and your grandchildren with an immense love. You also made Christmas special for everyone and you passed the torch to Serena and Colin. We love you and miss you!! Love and miss you, Mum! Laurie - Posted by: Laurie McLellan (Son) on: Nov 28, 2012
