You shared our joys & troubles,

The laughter and the tears,

You gave us love and kindness,

Through-out the passing years.

 

 

Your presence we will miss

Your memories we will treasure

Loving you always, forgetting you never.

We have to be grateful for all the great memories we had.

I am going to miss you Granny

Our words are few, our thoughts are deep,

Wonderful memories are ours to keep.

In our hearts, you will always stay,

Loved and remembered every day.

Loving you always, Sally Nowak & Merron xox

 

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved and missed and very dear.

What I wouldn’t give for one last hug and chance to say Goodbye.

Rest peacefully Mum, you were taken too soon.

Love Matthew, Becky, Maggie, Jack & Archie Nowak

 

Always so loving, thoughtful and kind,

What beautiful memories you leave behind.

You may have left this world behind

But you will never leave our hearts and mind.

Love Michelle, Brett, Claire, Amy & Harry McCallum

 

Of all the many blessing,

However great or small

To have you as a Mother

Was the greatest one of all.

Forever in our hearts

Fiona, Daniel, Avril, Marley, Lex and Iyla Voumard

 

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide;

And although we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same;

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Dearly loved sister of Lesley and Bob Hogan, loved Aunt of Daniel & Bradley

& their families.
