Kerr BORELL Memoriam

Bay of Plenty

Posted 7 July 2026

BORELLKERR MarjorieCarol 20/06/20216/07/2017 I held your hand as life slowly slipped away. I begged for more time, 1 hour more, 1 more heartbeat, but time didn't listen. The day heaven called you home, your pain ended, but mine just began, for every loss, a piece of my heart went with you. Some wounds never heal, some losses never fade. Grief never truly leaves you, you just learn to live your life differently cause that's what's expected. You learn how painful it is to love someone while they are leaving you and this world. Goodbyes always come faster than your heart can handle. For that moment of unbearable silence and stillness that settles around you, that's the time you realize they are already starting their next journey without you, and you can't follow. The day will come, when timing is right to be reunited and join them on the journey. Keep my heart close to yours, as I keep yours close to mine. My Endless love, Mum and Sis. Love Sonia and whanau
