Mia cara Antonia,
grazie per avermi dato
51 anni di matrimonio
e tre bellissimi bambini.
Mi mancherai ogni giorno
e trovo conforto nei ricordi che abbiamo condiviso insieme.
Riposa in Pace,
ti voglio tantia bene.
Cara Mamma,
Thank you for everything you have taught us, you were an inspiration, strong willed, determined and had a zest for life. You lived for your family and were truly your happiest when the family was all together,
this showed in your cooking.
These were memorable times always surrounded by love.
These last nine years you fought the battle of your life,
our hearts were slowly breaking, while we held your hand, witnessing what you were going through. We are honoured to call you our Mum and to have been with you right to the end. You are now free of pain and at peace,
our beautiful Guardian Angel.
Mamma di voglio
bene per sempre,
Teresa and Vincenzo Giglio xx
Cara Mamma,
You were the light of our lives, you would do anything for us.
Your strength, courage and determination to fight
was a true testament to the
kind of person you were.
You were always so loving and caring to all your family and we will miss you so much.
Our hearts are broken but your memory will always live on through us.
Thank you for everything.
Ti voglio tanti bene,
se sempre nel nostro cuore.

Cara Mamma,
Words cannot describe how
much we miss you already.
You will always be
cherished in our hearts.
You were the most loving and caring mother and nonna
anyone could have ever asked for.
You always put us kids before
yourself no matter how
unwell you were.
You always had food on the table for the family on our Friday night gatherings. Whether it was your homemade pizza or homemade pastas you never complained how tired you were with all the effort you went through to have us all over fordinner. Friday nights will not be the same without you.
R.I.P mum, no more suffering.
Love always,
your son Domenico,

To our beautiful Nonna,
you hold a special place
in our hearts and it's hard to imagine life without you.

we created together.
We loved school holiday adventures, shopping trips, cooking lessons and most of all seeing you every Friday night
for family dinner. Our Friday nights will never be
the same without you.
We already miss you deeply
and will never forget
your beautiful soul.
Lots of love your grandchildren,
Rosemarie, Anthony, Joseph and Samuel Giglio xx
Our dear Nonna Tonia,
How can we go on without you?

You taught us so much in life
and we will always treasure
the beautiful memories
we had together.
We are so lucky to have had you for all these years.
May you now Rest In Peace.
We will always love you,
