Mum, a piece of me died today, when you passed away,

but the loving memories I have of you, will forever stay.

Love you always

Your loving daughter Leanne.

PS: I never gave up.

To the best mother in law, from the best son in law.

Long time memories, will miss your butterfly cakes.

Ivan.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, 

so he put his arms around you,  and whispered come with me. 

With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away, 

although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. 

Love you Mum

See you next time 

Love Julie, Lewis and Alex.

Nanna, I will hold our memories in my heart forever.

Those secret blue bags we hid, coffees and donuts, and the kid’s chips and gravy every Tuesday.

Aleah, Lucy, Bentley, Layla, Steven and I love you very much,

you will be forever remembered and missed.

Love Haley

She sings a song of hope and cheer, there’s no more pain, no more fear,

you’ll see her in the clouds above, and hear her whisper words of love.

We love you Nanna,

Love Harry, Kristine, Charlotte and Flynn.

I will forever remember our cheeky doorbell game, picking the apples from your trees, playing hookey and quoits, and our shopping

sprees ending with chips and gravy.  I will forever remember.

I love you Nanna,

Geordie.

A tear I shed, you’ve gone away,

but I will love and remember you, each and every day.

Love ya Nanna,

Connor
