Mum - We are so grateful for the way we were raised. You were never afraid to be our mother, to put your foot down, to teach us right from wrong, to make sure we did our best. You always let us know we had a mum who cared about us, believed in us and was there for us no matter what. The life lessons you taught, the memories we shared, the strong shoulder you always lent us whenever we needed. You were the best mother we could ever ask for. Mum you fought your battle with a grace and determination second to none. We will continue to honour yours and dads legacy by living our lives the same way you both did, with love, kindness, respect and joy. With love and affection from Ortensio and Tania, Rita and Tony, Lucy, Silvia and Peter, Anthony and Kathy. ~ Nonna, We will miss all the wonderful stories, advice and delicious home cooking we shared around the kitchen table. We will never forget the love you showed us, the lessons you taught us and the treasured memories made. A life time of special moments, jokes shared and echoes of life lived fully and without regret. Nonna you have left behind an afterglow of smiles because how could we feel anything but joy after knowing you, loving you and having the privilege of being your grandchildren and great grandchildren.
