Marske Coop Funeralcare Josephine Bellerby (Davies) (Jo ) In loving memory of Jo Bellerby 28/09/1948 - 09/07/2023 How come it's you who flew above with me below, mostly in your shadow? How come it's you with the personality, with me; the sort of shy guy? How come it's you with all the drive, with me along for the ride? How come it's you; my inspiration, with me; a sort of exclamation? How come it's you who had it all with me looking to fall? How come it's you; the one I love? How come it's you who flew above? Always in my heart. Your loving husband Brian. Lesley Karen Moody (WAUGH) In memory of my beautiful partner Lesley who sadly passed away 1 year ago on 8th July 2025. You will forever remain in my heart and always in my thoughts. Thank you for the treasured time we spent together. Your ever loving partner Graham.
