Loving Wife of
Vincenzo (deceased)

Dearly loved Mother and Mother-in-law of
Angie and Rob,
Nunzio, Isidoro and Angela,
Pina and Allan.

It's not what we write
it's not what we say
It's how we remember you in our own special way
A mother is like no
other woman
She nurtures, teaches, guides
and more importantly
she loves unconditionally.
There are not enough
words to describe how
important our mother was
and will forever be to us.
You have earnt your rest,
and are now reunited
with Dad, able to watch
and guide your family all
the way from your
heavenly market garden.
Thank you Mum.

Loving Nanna of
Mathew and Emma,
Alexander and Ashley,
Marie and Callum,
Sabrina and Marc,
Bridget, Karina and Zac,
Matthew and Kirsty
and great-grandchildren
Lily, Georgia and Harrison

With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away,
and although we love you
dearly we knew you
couldn't stay,
A golden heart
stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Nanna you were a woman
with tremendous strength,
courage, selflessness and love.
You faced many
battles but always did
so with a smile.

Although your presence will be
missed in every moment
of our lives, we will forever
cherish the time we got to
spend with you and the
memories we have made.

Now it’s time for you to rest
peacefully with Nonno.

Forever in Our Hearts

Maria will be forever remembered
by all her Relatives and Friends
in Australia and Italy.
