Epitaph:

It is the vacant chair at our table.
It is the hook in the school cloakroom where no coat hangs.
It is the birthday party that can't be held....

Tribute:

What can one write about the death of a child?
It's not right that a father and mother should bury their son - the cosmic balance is faulty. Sweet Anthony was just 6 years old when he died tragically from Meningitis in 1990.
We all miss him still.
He was a lovely little boy, full of life, full of beans, shy one minute and outgoing the next. He loved bright colours, he loved his sisters and his cousins. He loved life and life has never been the same since we lost him.

Rest in peace precious Anthony, you will never be forgotten.

"Unable are the loved to die,
For love is immortality."

(by Emily Dickinson)
