Ani (Anne) Maria MURPHY.

 

In loving memory of our dearest wife, mother

and nanny who passed away one year ago today, 18 August 1999

 

We will build a mountain in your memory

We will honour all that you have done

We will finish all your tasks unended

With the falling of the rain and rising sun.

We will never forget what you have taught us

And should our memories ever start to wane

You will send a gentle sweet reminder

With the rising of the sun and falling rain.

All your whanau visit by your graveside

Silently alone, one by one

Sharing with your spirit, private moments

With the falling of the rain and rising sun.

One year has passed since the day you left us

One year full of heartache and of pain

But we will always remember our dear mother

With the rising of the sun and falling rain.
