Wording needed for One year anniversary of losing family members?

It will mark the one year anniversary of losing my 37 yr old neice from cancer, on November 4, 2007 and 23 days later on November 27, 2007 my Mother passed away from a broken heart (whom raised my niece). I am lost for a few words to put in our local paper as a rememberance/anniversary. I would like to use both names, (last names are the same) & dates with wording. I'm on a budget, need to keep it short simple. Any suggestions on how to submit are welcomed.

    Use both their names and 'You will always be close to our hearts, and deeply missed.

    How about just listing their names, and the dates, and then using a favorite quotations - most newspaper offices have books of quotes that you can use.

    Sorry for your loss - that's hard when they come so close together.

    I agree with Krestel. It seems more self-serving than actually commemorating anything worthwhile of either person's life.

    I've never understood the grisly practice of commemorating a death. Celebrate her LIFE instead! Run the newspaper piece on her birthday, not her death-day.
