We Offer our Deepest Sympathy 🙏

Mum,

You were the best mum anyone could have. You devoted your life to your family and always put them first no matter what the cost, even to yourself at times. You were a brilliant seamstress and taught me how to sew, a pastime I still love. As we were growing up you often spent long evenings sewing special things for us, telling us that you couldn’t promise they would be finished by the morning, but usually they were. You helped me sew my own trousseau, sewed clothes for my children as they were growing up and you always helped me solve any sewing issues I had even when you physically couldn’t sew yourself anymore. Over the last few years, you and I spent many hours making greeting cards for family and friends. You always deliberated carefully what wording you would put in them, choosing pictures that were appropriate to the individual and placing them carefully inside your handmade cards. We had lots of fun times, and I will miss you terribly but I know you had to go because the pain was getting too bad to bear. I love you mum. Sleep peacefully now till the Lord returns.

Love Johanna.

Much loved mother of Jenni and Ian.

Mum We’ve had our ups and downs over the years. Mostly up than down, you were my children’s beloved oma you taught us right from wrong, that kindness was never wrong, your skills in dress makinge was fabulous. My earliest memory is sitting at your feet while you sewed sifting through your magical button box. I was so happy and grateful when you gave me the button box. It’s one of my greatest treasures. Whenever I missed you I would get out the button box and sift my fingers through the buttons and think of you. You will be missed

I will treasure the memories, cards, flavors, and stories that you have shared with me for almost 37 years. I am so lucky that you were able to meet Ollie, and that he will also carry the love you shared with him in his heart. Thank you for always being present and making me feel so important.
