Add to this grove

Where birds and mammals visit every day

Wild flowers and roses sway gentle in the breeze

There lies two very special people

That we love and miss each passing day

Bill and Ellen as they were known to all 

Have now reunited together to watch over us

 

Bill & Ellen both completed very eventful lives,


“Bill” with his love for the highlands would cycle all over Scotland in his youth sleeping overnight in
the wild or at a youth hostel. 

“Ellen” from an early age was sent from her home in Glasgow, to work as a scullery maid in
the South of England at Arundel Castle. 

Until the 2nd World War started changing both their lives for ever, both becoming active 

Service personnel.   “Bill” took charge of many situations and earned respect from all that knew 

him, this continued into his married life as head of the family.  “Ellen” touched many people 

throughout her life and all will feel the loss of this bright cheerful spirit, it is fair to say the day 

was always brighter in her presence. They are both deeply missed by all.

 

In memory of a loving pair who are greatly missed by their daughters, sons, grandchildren,
great grandchildren, friends and family members.

Unfortunately, your old Polo VW car has called it a day but
"WeBuyAnyCar.com" were able to give some cash for trading it in,
which we felt was only right to add to your grove.
Miss you both every day.
