Mum I love you, you were my Mum to me since I was 17
xxxGreetings to everyone from Philippines.
In the days or months leading up to her passing , coz we always talked on FaceTime , Mum would often say that people would be laughing instead of crying when she is gone. I don’t quite understand what she meant at that time , but when I learned what happened to mum through Nikki it all became clear to me that you are already gone Mum .It’s really sad and I had sleepless nights. I wish I’m there now but my work doesn’t permit me to .
I still remember vividly when I first came to Australia and see for the first time way back 2010 you welcomed me into your house with open arms and with your warm smile. You told me to feel at home and from that time on we get easily with each other. We talked anything under the sun . You taught me how to knit and crochet as it was your hobby. And you even make a blanket for me and my sister which I brought in the Philippines. Aside from knitting you also love play bowling every Thursday if I am not mistaken. You read books too and infact you want me to bring your books when I get back home but I can’t because I will have my excess luggage. I remembered to you baked an apple pie for me as a gift on my birthday. When Peter passed away last 2019 our communication is still constant. Mum thank you for treating me as if I was your own daughter. And with your passing it really it also pains me .I always felt your love and I still feel it today .
To Nikki and Matt thank you for always thinking of me and Sara
To my brother in laws Mike and Jenny, Dale , Ron and Carol , thank you for accepting me in your family , rest assured that I will not forget Mum and Peter . They will always be in my heart .
Mum thank you for everything. I hope you know it’s always appreciated
Give my kisses to Peter up there in paradise..Much Love

FebieThank you for all the wonderful memories we’ve shared. You are so loved and missed by all. Lots of love from all the great grandchildren and great great grandchildren
August 19, 2024Nothing can replace those childhood memories of Great Nan being my penpal as well as holiday visits which we loved.
Will be missed dearly and condolences to instant family. Much love ❤️
August 19, 2024Dear Nan,
I also grew up being taken care of my lola (granma). Who would have known that after she passed, I was granted another through you. You welcomed us with big smiles and warm hugs. I will never forget those daily cuddles and warm hugs. How you loved playing games and your fondness of butterflies. How you never get to be the one to hang up first on our FaceTimes after telling us how the day went. I hate that we will never get to have those now. I am thankful I get to know someone like you: loving, funny, kind and smart. Thank you for loving me and mum immensely and welcoming us to the family. For that beautiful pink scraf you made me for my 18th birthday, and for always writing my age on your white board. I will cherish these beautiful memories with you forever. May you watch over us and the people you love from up there. I am sorry for not being able to say goodbye in person. Missing you big time, Nan.
loving you forever,
Sara
