FINLAY, Theresa (née Woodside)

Deepest sympathies to Brian and family on the sad loss of Theresa, such a lovely lady
Barbara (Chadwick) and Peter Hackman

My beautiful, funny and loyal friend, Theresa. Hope you are resting peacefully after such a valiant and brave fight against the big C. 3 long years is such a long time. My heart is broken, but I know you are in a better place, no pain or suffering. Will miss your laughter and your love, in my heart forever. Love you, always. Deepest sympathy and love to Brian, Shaun, Sharon, Brian James, family and friends. Another sparkling diamond, twinkling star in the evening sky.
Lots of love and big hugs.
Marg, Joel, Dean, Leah and our family.

My deepest sympathies to Brian, Shaun, Sharon, Brian-James, grandchildren and Theresa’s friends. Condolences to Theresa’s sisters, brothers and family members in County Down, Northern Ireland.
As a Northerner myself, I first met Theresa at St. Michael’s School when our five year old children started in prep. The years have flown since then but it was the start of a life-long friendship.
You’ve only slipped away to make some tea that we’ll drink from your shamrock cups (made in Ireland as you reminded me) and share memories, laughter, jokes and the joys and complexities of life and love.
I’ll hear the lilt in your voice and laughter forever. Rest in peace Theresa, love, Mary.

My sincere condolences to Brian, Shaun, Sharon and Brian James. I first met Theresa when she volunteered her time to help at the St Paul’s Campus Canteen along with Shirley Bridges. I have very fond memories of those days gone by. A beautiful lady now resting. 🌹 🌹🌹❤️

Dear Theresa, we will miss you so very much. your love and laughter knew no bounds Our thoughts go out to Brian, your soul mate and loving partner, to Shaun, Sharon and Brian James, your precious family and their partners, and your loved and adored 9 grandchildren. You fought for 3 long years, always with a smile and a laugh and your precious family by your side. You have left behind so many memories and wonderful times that we may call upon in our times of need and to help keep us strong. Theresa, you are now at peace, and I know will be watching over each and every loved one with so much love, huge smiles and your Irish pride.
A lovely and loved lady,

Helen and Jeff, Douglas, Catherine and families.💗

Mum, it’s so hard to put into words what you meant to us all.
You raised me to be strong and caring, to have a sense of humour, and to always be able to laugh at myself first. All of which I have continued to teach my own kids.
The quick wit and stubbornness just passed on naturally I think.

You are leaving me with a lifetime of happy memories.
From toddler-me trading my sandwich for your much better looking lunch, the endless riddles and brain games we did to keep our minds active and working, the card games and board games we always played, of which you then continued to play with my kids too.

Unfortunately our days together grew shorter than we would have liked, but your job here was complete.
You took a leap of faith in a young Aussie fella, and 50 years later had ended up conquering the world amongst 3 children and 9 grandchildren.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I Love you Mum and will miss you.
xoxo
