October 10, 2024
I was dragged into a new chapter Sunday morning
One that started when your life ended
I grabbed at the previous pages
But life ripped them away
New chapters will come and hopefully, many of them good
But I still find myself wanting to go back, to stay with you,
Bookmarked
In the part of my life, where you Mum,
Are still living.
Our hearts are broken,
Love from Andrea, Darren, Zoe & all your family.Dear Alice,

You will be sadly missed but fondly remembered. Our visits for a cuppa and a chat will never be forgotten. Cleo especially will miss her tummy rubs.
Love Ray, Zoe, & CleoWhat a wonderful lady
Looked after me like a son in lawThinking of you all x
October 10, 2024I,like many others in this room have known Alice for a very long time.The overriding sense I have of Alice is that she really cares for her extended family.She was always happy to be surrounded by her three girls, their partners and her precious grandchildren. I do believe the most wonderful years of her life started when she married George Lawrence, a friend and mate to all of us. Alice now joins George and Greg, where I reckon she will be working on Body Corporate issues to ensure its smooth and efficient operation. Alice had a full and long life. I do believe she will rest in peace. Rod.
October 10, 2024Alice Lawrence; the strongest woman I ever knew, and I’m so lucky to have called her my grandmother.
Grandma was fiercely proud of the family, and all of our achievements; she was my number one supporter. She guided me through life’s challenges, shared countless afternoon cuppas, and always offered a warm and comforting embrace.
I will be forever greatful for how close we were, especially during my childhood, and will treasure our memories.Her independence, strength, intelligence, kindness and love helped shaped who I am today.
Love you always, Grandma. I hope I continue to make you proud. I’ll miss you every day, until we meet again ❤️
October 11, 2024Mumma thank you. For creating our incredible family, for fighting for as long as you did so we had more time together, for being here when our kids were born. Without you there is no us and I’ll forever be grateful for that. You were strong beyond words and I hope to keep that fighting spirit alive like you did. Rest in peace grandma. We love you. Sal & Eva 💃👩👧🏼
October 11, 2024Dear Mum, Words cannot describe how much I will miss you. We certainly had our challenges and differences of opinion, but despite it all, we had an amazing connection and one I will treasure forever. You instilled in me the wonderful qualities of strength and resilience and I am grateful for this everyday. Please give Greg a hug and let him know a day doesn’t go by that I don’t miss him. Forever in our hearts. All my love Gayle xxx
October 11, 2024Dear Mum,
October 12, 2024
I learnt from you how to be resilient and have a fighting spirit to soldier on.I have always admired your strength of character,sense of fairness and your ability and willingness to fight for what you think is right.You never gave up.You will always be with me.Rest in peace.Love you MumxxThinking of you all Wendy, Gail, Andrea and families at this very sad time. Alice was an amazing, caring lady and my late eldest brother George was very lucky to have her as his wife..We always made a point of dropping in to visit Alice when passing through Traralgon and she was always full of news about her family. I’m sorry we can’t be at her farewell service, as we are in the USA at the moment.
