To our beautiful Mum

Words can't express the heartache we feel, you

were more than a mum to us, we would love our chats

with you, your sense of humour and you always knew the right things to say. As much as we didn't want to say goodbye, we know you were tired, you fought

right till the end. We will miss you mum, our love for you was endless, we will always cherish the times we

spent together and all the memories we made.

You are now reunited with Dad,

give him a huge hug from all of us

With love always from your children

Luke & Josie, Tina and Vince, and Pat

To our beautiful Nonna Rosa,

You were taken from us far too soon. We have so

many memories that we have shared with you

over the years that we will treasure forever.

We know that you will be watching over us and still managing to keep us in line. But every now and then throw us a hint to remind us that you are near.

The one thing that has given us peace is knowing

that you and Nonno are together again.

Please give Nonno a big hug and kiss for us.

We will love you always & forever.

Love your grandchildren Melissa & Alex,

Joe & Vittoria, Danielle, Pelle and Tony xxx

Carissima Sorella Rosa

Tu sei stata un angelo che dio ti e mandata sulla

terra che dove ai camminato ai laschiato una strada

di stelle. Quando tu parlavi I tuoi parole erino come

I fiore nel giardino. Cara sorella noi eramo cinque sorelle ma eramo una. Abiamo pionto in sieme

abbiomo riduto in sieme ma di piu di voliamo bene e rispetto tanto. Tu eri la sorella piu grande e per noi

eri la seconda mamma. Ha adesso e arrivato lora del doloroso distacco ma sei con il tuo caro sposo e la nostra cara mamma e il nostro caro padre e nelle

mani di Dio dove non tieni piu dolore,

Dalle tuio sorrelle Grazia, Anna, Antonia e Maria

e le nostre cari famiglie. Sei sempre

nel nostro cuore

Dearest Zia Rosa

A light from our family is gone

A voice we loved is stilled

A place is vacant in the home

which can never be filled

Every head bowed

Every heart filled with pain

Silence echoed loudly as

your beautiful wings were gained

The tears fell from heaven like rain,

on the day the angels softly sang your name

Forever in our Hearts

Frank, Giusa, Stephanie and Joseph

We would like to say a big thank you to Dr Garry Nind, Dr Bruno Rositano and all the doctors and staff at Calvary Central Districts Hospital for their care and dedication in looking after Rosa.

RIPOSA IN PACE

NO LUTTO PLEASE
