Cherished Zia Maria to all her nieces and nephews

We will always remember her joyful smile,

her kind heart, her caring ways and how she

filled our lives with love.

A mother whose love for her children never failed.

A Grandmother whose doting never faltered.

A generous person to all people.

A woman whose presence, gaze and hug would

make us all feel loved.

Cara Mamma

You were our shining light, you nurtured and loved us in a way no one else could. You taught us the importance of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, living in harmony with one another,

and brought out the best in us.

If everyone had a little of the goodness

in your heart, the world would be a better place.

Through your passion for cooking,

many have experienced happiness,

love and friendship that endures.

Our hearts are broken as you were taken

before your time.

Your zest for life will live on through our lives

and all those whom you touched with

joy, hope, peace, love and faith.

You are in our hearts, and the memories of you, our beautiful loving Mother will be with us forever.

In Gods loving embrace,

forever in our hearts

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at

Nonna's Cucina for lovingly embracing our beloved Mum and bringing great joy to her life through her service to the wider community.

With heartfelt thanks to Nancy Colarco

Cara Nonna Maria

Our hearts are broken as you're no longer with us.

Our wonderful memories of you will be treasured eternally. You were the heart of our family and who we all aspired to be like. Your generosity and love for all will never be forgotten, nor will your passion for food and how you lit up every room.

Our guardian Angel on Earth,

now in heaven, forever missed but

always in our hearts

Love from Chantel and Paul, Carla and Joseph,

Daniel and Lively, Michael and Amanda,

Stefan and Marie, Paul and Olivia, Felicity and Paul,

Adrian and Christina, Nathaniel and Ashlea.

Cara Bis Nonna Maria

Your love for us shone brightly through your need to always feed us. Even when our parents said no, you would send us to the pantry for a treat.

Chips, chocolates, biscuits and lemonade

were always on offer in your kitchen.

We love and adore you and our lives are fuller for having had you in it, as having a Great Grandmother

like you was a privilege.

Love from Alessia, Chiara, Noah, Emilia, Elijah, Chloe, Olive, Jacob, Sophie, Eliana, Jordan, Sofia and Juliette.
