Mum,

You gave so much and asked so little.

You were a person with a heart of gold.

Memories of you we will treasure and hold.

Rest in the peace you so much deserve.

We love you and miss you.

Your loving son and daughter-in-law

Luigi and Nunziata.

Mum,

I stood by your bedside holding your hand

watching you slowly pass away. You were trying

so hard to hold on afraid of leaving me alone.

Dad called your name saying it was time

to reunite with the love of his life,

you surprised him on his birthday.

Mum, you were brave, strong and an independent

beautiful lady who put everyone else's

needs first instead of yours.

You touched so many lives leaving behind

a lot of broken hearts. It's time for you

to spread your wings and fly high.

I will always love and cherish all

the memories we created.

Your loving daughter Carmela x

To our beautiful Nonna,

Your generosity and love was the pillar of our family.

You filled our hearts with so much love and care.

It will never be the same here but we know you're watching over us.

Your memory will forever

live in our hearts. We will miss you always.

All our love John, Annalisa

and great-grandchildren Sienna and Cartia.

To our beautiful Nonna,

You touched the hearts of everyone you met

with your kind and generous nature.

We are so lucky that we got to call you Nonna.

Life will not be the same without you

but we have memories that will last forever.

We will always love and miss you Nonna.

With love Stella and Federico.

The family sincerely thank all the staff at

Lyell McEwin Hospital Emergency Department and Ward 2C

with special thanks to the hospital Chaplains

dedicated care, love and support.
