										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My wonderful parents.</p>
<p>Mum &#8211; 16.05.22<br />
Dad &#8211; 07.09.23</p>
<p>There are no words to describe how much I love and miss you, my life has never been the same without you, you left a huge gaping hole in my heart.<br />
My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you and my soul knows you are at peace.<br />
I am thankful you had 85 long years and my only comfort is knowing you are both together, as it should be.<br />
I miss you every single minute of every single day, you may be gone from my sight but never from my heart.</p>
<p>Love you forever<br />
Jacqueline<br />
🩷💙<br />
