Sleeping peacefully Dear Mum, 75 years ago, in a characteristic gesture of courage and trust, you boarded a ship to travel to an unfamiliar land, into an unknown future.
A wife to reunite with her beloved, two children to reunite with their father. Once in Australia, you attended solely to looking after your growing family. You kept a beautiful house for us all.
We were all well presented, and wanted for nothing of any significance. You taught yourself to speak and read english because you believed strongly in the value of education and knowledge.
Mum, your character spoke to me of determination, generosity and hospitality.
Thank you for everything. I will cherish your memory always.
With love and gratitude,
ROSE
