To our loving Mother, For those memories when we have been so close, for those times we've needed you the most. For all the loving things you have done, for being a truly perfect Mum. For all those things, and millions more, this seems to us a daily chore. We give our thanks and all our love in the thought that when we look above. The brightest star in all the sky, is that same sparkle once in your eye. We'll never stop loving and never forget, the greatest Mum we've ever met. Your loving children Rita and Nick (dec), Tony and Mary, and Carmel. ~ Nonna, Such wonderful memories of Nonna, the Nonna we all used to know. We kept you too long and they're waiting, the Angels have said you can go. Bright golden gates that are shining, full of family to bid you hello. So blow us a kiss as you're leaving, our sadness we'll try not to show. Such wonderful memories of Nonna. We all have our favourites you see, as you enter those gates you'll be thinking, They're all there thinking of me. From your loving grandchildren, Larry, Christine, Robert, Lidia, Gina, Filippo, Tony, Jessica, Maria Louise, Larry and Marie-Anne. We will forever remember our Nonna Dichiera by her loving hugs, big kisses and her familiar "Bello and Bella". May she now rest in peace reunited with Nonno Dichiera and watch over us from above. Your great grandchildren, Jacob, Nicholas, Rhymney, Olivia, Christian, Flynn, Ella, Mason, Indy-Louise and Soraya. (Mangasti!) ~ To hear your voice, to see you smile, To sit and talk with you awhile. To be together in the same old way Would be our only wish today. We laugh, we cry, we play our part But behind it all lies a broken heart. We hide our tears when we speak your name, Without you... life's not the same. From your brother, Domenico and sister-in-law Emma (dec) Deluca and family. ~ There's a gift in life you cannot buy, it's very rare and true. It's a special gift of friendship, that a brother and sister once knew. As children we grew together, as adults we went separate ways. But it broke my heart the day you went away. Your loving brother Pasquale and sister-in-law Silvia Deluca and family. ~ Always gentle, loving and kind, those are the memories you left behind. You will always be forever in our hearts and thoughts. Your loving brother Vincenzo and sister-in-law Elena Deluca.
