Thanks for devoting your life to us and convincing Dad to come to Melbourne. You made our house a home, every occasion special and instilled a love of laughter and life. You and Dad couldn’t have done anymore for us. We are eternally grateful. And thanks for teaching me to read with expression!
Love you Mum. Eddie, Carla, Joe and Xander McGuire.
