Mum

How do we even begin to thank you for giving us life and being such a huge part of our lives.

There will be no more Wednesday night dinners at your house.

We will miss the coffee catch ups, the banter and our meals together.

We will miss the detailed and informative updates after your numerous conversations with family and friends overseas.

We will miss our chats; you listened to us no matter what time of the day or night.

We will miss the sparkle in your beautiful green eyes which would light up when we spoke about our lives and those of our children and grandchildren.

You have always accepted us … just as we are.

Rest in peace, Mum!

Your loving children.

Treasured nonna of: Daniel and Jess, Eloise and Dylan, Romina and Stephen, Dario and Daniela, Nathaniel and Lidia, Larry and Alee, Flavio and Tara, Andre and Melissa, Julia and Martin, Sofia and Mitch, Deanna, Marco (Junior), Cosmelita, Cassandra.

Adored bisnonna of Selena, Julian, Gabriel, Stevie, Lawrence, Graciela, Jemima and Charles.

To our loving nonna, we are all grateful that we were part of your life and cannot express how lucky we are that you were always there to support us no matter what. You always thought of others and were respectful to everyone and welcomed all with loving arms. Thank you for everything, and we know you will always be looking down on us, telling us that we should be watering the plants differently. We all know why you are so loved, and words cannot express that.

We remember you in our heart,

We remember you in our belly.

For your love, your hugs, your care

And your cicatelli

Love Forever and Always,

Your grandchildren & great grandchildren.
