Sister-in-law with a gentle heart,
You’ve been our family’s softer part.

Bring calm, good health and lots of cheer.

 

A sister-in-law like you is rare,
Full of patience, love and care.

Now it feels strange without you.
Birthday hugs and wishes too –
May life give back the good you do.

but a proper sister,
written into our story
at exactly the right time.”

You’ve walked with us through every mile.
Sister-in-law, loved through and through –
May this year be gentle to you.
