To our beautiful mother,
a heart of gold has stopped beating
and the beautiful sparkle in your eyes will
stay in our hearts forever.
Your love was the foundation of our home,
and we were truly blessed to have
you as our mother.
Throughout your life you showed us how to
face challenges with courage and grace.
Your strength, determination and resilience
were incredible and will inspire us forever.
Though you are no longer with us,
our love for you will never end, our hearts
will always cry.
But above all, we want
to say ‘Thank you’ for
being our mum.

Dear Mum,
if tears could build a staircase,
and the memories build a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven and
bring you home again.
With all our love,
Ivana, Paul, Daniel, Amy, Sabrina, David,
Arcadius and Arlia.
Dear Nonna,
no more life with us you share,
heart so wonderfully kind.
But as long as we
live and memories last,
you will live in my
heart forever.
Love Michael.

of strength, love and resilience.
You will be forever loved and
forever missed.
All our love,

Dear Nonna,
you taught us the meaning
of family, resilience and unconditional love.
Though you are no longer with us in body,
your spirit lives on in every shared
meal and family tradition.
You were an inspiration
to us all, and you will
be deeply missed.
All our love,
Amanda, Troy, Zoey and Mia.
