My loving, caring, thoughtful, fun loving Aunty Christina,
I close my eyes as I wipe a tear
I just wish the pain would disappear
I didn't get the chance to say my last goodbye
I just didn't think you would ever die
You were more of an Aunt to me, our late night chats and your wisdom and your lovely bright smile I will never forget.
You are reunited with the love of your life Neville, you can dance together and hold each other tight once again.
Heaven has gained a true angel RIP💕 love you forever Sheryl x

You remember them, when they were young,
And life goes by so fast,
The memories of the good times,
Make those the things, that last,
There are no words that comfort you,
When at last, you have to part,
But remember them with fondness,
Always carry them, in your heart x
God bless L'il Sis x

Christina was a much loved next door neighbour to me and my mum since I was as young as I can remember and I spent a lot of my childhood round hers laughing with her and Nev. She’ll be sorely missed.
