In Loving Memory of PP Teresa Sim

7th Anniversary

Someone so dearly loved

So popular with your  friends

We should not cry forever,

For this is not the end.

 Memories of you lives amongst us,

Times we laughed and cried,

So many things remind us;

Of times that are now gone past.

Seven years had gone by

By a blink of an eye

The memories of you

Will forever be cast deeply in our hearts

 Missed you, Teresa
