FOR DAVID AND VALERIE
Old acquaintances renewed from many years ago,
This pleasant get together has made friendships grow,
Two wonderful happy people, now friends for evermore,
Another branch of the family, honest to the core.

The salt of the earth, with goodness right through,
The kind of friends you can trust to be there for you,
Someone you know you can count on every day,
Loving, kind and caring in a very special way.

We are honoured now to know you, part of the family,
A bond of sweet friendship to last through eternity,
A wonderful couple, so caring and so very kind,
A special treasure that we were fortunate enough to find.

May the friendship grow, nothing mar the gift
Of the togetherness we feel that gives us a lift,
Both with a keen sense of humour and loving ways
Dear friends to treasure all of our remaining days.
