Lament Being old did not define them the lives they lived the lives they gave and made through hardship and hard work with few if any luxuries. The loves they loved and gave, the hugs, the smiles, some tears, much laughter. They were our mums and dads. We gave them the joy of our children to make them great and grand for another generation. This is who they were. They were not expendable. We are not the herd. In memoriam for Pat Cooper b 14.09.1925 d 28.03.2020 Trish Davies
