Murray, Thank you for all the happy years we have shared together.

These memories I will cherish forever.

We were blessed with three beautiful children,

who we raised with our family values. I know they

will be there to help me today and always.

I will miss you so much and I will love you forever.

All my love, Stella.

Dad, it is with deep sympathy and tears in my eyes

that it is time to say goodbye. I cannot thank you

enough for all that you have done for me, my family

and all our families.

Family was everything to you. Your family values,

your hard work, your courage and your fight to the end,

was an inspiration to us all. You were a proud man,

who's legacy will live in us all. All those endless medical

appointments and car rides we shared together, I wish I

could take them all back now, only with you in better health.

You will be missed more than you will ever know. It is goodbye for now,

until we meet again one day.

Forever in our hearts,

Brian, Maria, Stefan and Luca.

Dear Dad, I am the luckiest girl ever, to have been blessed

with a father like you. No one needed to tell me this...

this is how you made me feel.

You taught me to love, respect, appreciate and care.

Nothing was ever too hard when it came to your family

and especially my three children, Mark Anthony,

Michael and Isabella.

You cherished them as much as you did me, and the

love and respect they have for you is huge. They will miss you dearly.

Thank you for loving and cherishing mum for 54 years.

Her heart is now breaking but we will continue to look

after her for you. I'm going to miss you Dad... you were

my hero and you always protected me, but know that Andrew

will care for me now, so you don't need to worry anymore.

I love you Dad, more than you will ever know.

Love Rosemary.

Dad, words cannot express the heartbreak we feel.

Looking back at my childhood, you resembled strength,

hard work, devotion and a family man who dedicated his

life to us. To me, you were invincible. You have been a

major influence in my life, and I have tried hard to model

myself on you knowing I would only ever be half the man you were.

I thank you for the love, encouragement and support

you have given to myself, Sally and the girls. Sally will

always cherish the special relationship you both had, you

always treated her as a second daughter. You were a proud

Grandpa to our girls, having a special bond with both.

Always showing an interest in their lives and boasting

about her achievements. Dad, I will cherish the time we

have spent together, and I will never forget the strength and

courage you showed in your final days. There is now

no more suffering, the pain has gone and it is time

for you to rest in peace. We will miss you dearly,

and you will forever be in our hearts.

Gary, Sally, Caitlin and Chloe.
