To my loving wife Rosina of 68 wonderful years.

Thank you for all the years we built precious memories together that I will love and cherish forever. I feel so very blessed to have shared this long journey with such a strong, beautiful, wise and kind hearted soulmate. You were devoted to our Catholic faith and to our beautiful family. You fought for so long with your incredible strength, now rest in eternal peace. I will miss and love you forever. Until we meet again. Your loving husband, Antonino.

Mum and Nonna

You suffered so long and told so few, it wasn’t fair what you went through. God saw that you were weary, the hill too steep to climb. He gently closed your eyes and whispered, “peace be thine”. Loved and always remembered, your loving son Vince and Lucy, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Mum and Nonna

While our hearts are broken, you are resting peacefully. For all that you did for us, we thank you. We have been blessed to have you sharing in our life. Your memory is the greatest treasure that we will forever hold in our hearts. Love you always and forever. Seb and Jo De Leo, grandchildren and great grandson.

To my beautiful Mamma and Best Nonna Rosina

Thank you for all your love, kindness, support, generosity and many sacrifices you made for us. Being by your side every day and caring for you was a great privilege and honour. We will miss holding your hand. Mamma, you were my Rock, my Best Friend and a special Nonna. You fought so hard for so long. We will miss spending every day together but we will cherish all the precious memories we shared. We will especially miss your beautiful smile, laughter, special hugs and kisses. Remembering you is easy, we do it every day. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, we would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. We miss and love you so very much. Forever in our hearts. Rest in Eternal Peace. Ti amo per sempre Mamma. Your daughter Mariella, Arthur, Nicholas and Anthony Stamatopoulos.

To the Best Nonna Rosina

You were always offering love, kindness and wisdom. We are so very grateful for every moment we shared together. Growing up with you were the best years of our lives. We will always cherish our special time with you, the stories you told, the laughter, life lessons and feeding us all the time. We will carry your memory always and your legacy will live on. Thank you for being the Best Nonna and second Mother and for filling our hearts with your love. You were the strongest person we know and now you can finally be at peace. We will love you forever and treasure all our days together. Love your grandsons Nicholas and Anthony Stamatopoulos.

A loving caring sister and Zia. Your suffering is finally over now that God has called you home. You will always be in our hearts. Until we meet again. Rest in eternal peace. Your loving sister Caterina, brother-in-law Antonio (deceased) Zappia, your nipoti Joe, Nancy and John, Anthony and Larissa, Catherine and Lachlan.
