In Memoriam
HAUXWELL - Alan James
1 min read

20.08.1952 - 10.02.2023.
Those we love don't truly leave us. They stay in the memories we carry, the lessons they taught us, the love they shared. Their love echoes in our minds, their favourite phrases sneak into our conversations and their essence lingers in the spaces they filled.
Grief doesn't go away but we learn to live with it by smiling at their memory, by speaking their name with warmth instead of tears.
Miss you every day, Alan, but you are always with us.
- Love you forever, June and family.
