Beloved wife of Filippo (Phillip) Monacella (dec)

The world has lost a beautiful person. Mary has gone home to heaven after a long battle; that she fought so bravely. May she now rest in peace.

The sound of your voice; the ring of your laughter; and the twinkle in your eyes will stay with us all forever.

Very much loved by your sisters Caroline (dec), Josephine, Grace and brothers Tom (dec) Joseph and Bob Russo, and your many nieces and nephews and their respective families.

Also, loved and respected by your many kind and loving friends.

God has you in His keeping; we have you in our hearts.

Thanks for all who have supported Mary during this period and a special thanks to the Priests at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and to the Staff at Maryvale Private Hospital.

Dear Aunty Mary,
You were a truly inspirational lady, a genuine lady of true faith. You never judged or said a bad word, you truly made me welcome always. You were a strong lady to the end and as always very organized to the end. You were always ready to help in anything to do at Church your volunteering even when you weren’t really well.
The smile you always gave – the pew will be empty without you.
Will always remember you in my prayers – thank you for all you did.
Rest in peace.
Love always Marysia,Phil,Gabby,Kat, Michael and families xx
