  19. A sister is the most precious person you will ever meet, and you Bernadette were the rarest one that no one could beat.
    You lived your life to the fullest, never wasting a day.
    This I will remember and follow your way..
    You put smiles on faces of families and friends, while living your life to the very end.
    You never complained while dealing with this hideous disease.
    You worried more about others, and made sure they at ease.
    Rest in peace now Bernadette “Briquette”. You have battled way to long.
    Love Margaret, Peter, Luke, Emma and Elsie xxxxx

  21. Dear Aunty Bernie
    You had the rarest talent of making people laugh or smile, in the most beautiful way, no matter the situation. The memories I have, of playing cricket in your backyard, or swimming in your pool as a child. Through to sharing a drink with you with gut wrenching laughter as an adult, will all have a warm place in my heart forever.
    In a beautifully humble way you were an inspiration to us all. If life is measured on kindness & caring, fun & laughter, you lived it to the fullest.
    I’ll miss you asking me at every opportunity “Yeah, but how did you pay for that?”
    Love always and forever
    Travis, Connie, Evie & Xavier

  22. Aunty Bernie,
    What a fight you put up and what a life you lived. I hope you know how inspirational you have been to so many. There was always laughs to be had when you were around, usually at something you had said or done and that is why we love you. You were always so positive and so caring and compassionate.

    Thank you for the memories… they will remain with us forever.

    Back in the arms of Nan and Pop and Uncle Michael and Peter.

    Forever in our hearts
    Shell and family XO

  24. Aunty Bernie, it didn’t matter where in the world we were – England, Scotland, Greece, Bali, New Zealand, Australia – it was always full of laughs and good times with you. Memories I will treasure forever. You always saw the positives in life and were so kind, generous and inquisitive – no question was out of bounds! I can only imagine the noisy reunion upstairs with Nan, Pop, Peter and Dad xo

  27. Dearest Aunty B,
    What a wonderful aunty you have been to me personally, you were always so much fun to be around, the life of the party! I have such wonderful memories from my childhood of summer holidays spent with cousins in your backyard pool, playing video games and helping myself to your lolly jar. I will always remember the excitement of waiting for my birthday card in the letterbox each year which always had $20, it brought me so much joy!
    I will treasure precious memories of our family trip to Fiji. Your positivity, strength and courage are something to be admired. Enjoy your precious reunion with Nan, Pop and Peter and please take special care of dad for me.
    You can now rest peacefully.
    Lots of love,
    Megan, Stephen, Willow and Jordan
    XOxo
