KNIGHT (NEE FORBES), Shirley

14-Mar-1936 - 15-Oct-2020

Beloved wife of Frank (Dec), Cherished Mum of Robyn & Mario, Adored Grandma of Aaron & Mason, Loved sister in-law, Aunt, great Aunt & great great Aunt.

Passed away peacefully with a broken heart and is now with Dad, together forever.

My Mum kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave my life it's start.

She turned me to the sunshine,
And encouraged me to dream:
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rains came,
She protected me enough;
But not too much, she knew I'd need
To stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example,
Always taught me right from wrong;
Markers for my pathway
To last my whole life long.

I am my Mum's garden,
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love,
Reflected back from me.
