Mum, our hearts are filled with sadness on your sudden passing.  We are grateful however; we will always have our memories.  Thank you for giving us your unconditional and outpouring love, guidance and support throughout your lifetime.  You were our Rock and pillar of strength.  Our precious times together are now wrapped around our hearts with love and will be remembered and cherished forever.  We admired your determination and commitment to live life right to the very end, your way.  You achieved this mum and I hope you can rest now peacefully in God’s Garden knowing you are also now reunited with Dad, Cheryl and Barry.  Forever you will remain in our hearts, loved and remembered always.

My beautiful Mum, a beautiful soul.  My friend like no other.  Mum, you were the most amazing lady to have known.  Special to so many.  You were so right in saying it’s a bugger to get old.  Your mind was brilliant, your body worn out.  We will cherish all our times we shared.  No more shopping days: we would sit and watch the society of our world go by and shared a few laughs.  Nothing I did was ever a chore for me, I did it because I loved you.  I am so proud to have had a Mum like you.  To reach 93 years and be independent in your own home until the end, (Amazing).  How better would the world be with more like you.  You can now rest with Dad as you wanted.  Give Cheryl the biggest hug.  I miss you already, you will stay close to my heart forever.  Your loving daughter Kerrie and Rick.  Michelle and Adam, Adele, Evelyn, Elsie, Simone & Lauren.
