Alva VALENTINE Obituary
Much loved mother of Elaine, and Nana of Karalyn, Tinaka and Andrew Niven. Passed away on April 15, 1976. Mum was joined by our father, Noel Valentine on August 22, 2015.
A shadowy figure to my right
I turn to look but it's out of sight
Is that your reflection in the mirror I see?
I look closer
No, it's only me
Unsure now what was ever real.
But you are the piece that fits this void I feel.
Also remembering with love her parents Alec and Ettie Robertson.
