In Memoriams
Barbara And Karol GORCZYNSKI (Purchase)
They never looked for praises They were never ones to boast They just went on quietly working For the ones they loved the most. Their dreams were seldom spoken Their wants were very few And most of the time their worries Also went unspoken too. They were there .... a firm foundation Through all our storms of life Sturdy hands to hold on to In times of stress and strife. Two true friends we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings Our loved/missed Mum and Dad. Remembered always, Miecia and Reg, Christopher, Laura, Dominic, Victoria and all the family
