Her love and pride in her family and their many achievements. You were always there for us in every endeavour. Even at the end she was concerned about our needs and not hers. We will miss you every day. Your example of life will live on in us. We will remember and love you always. Rest in peace. Lynda and Vince. XOXO ~ If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for us, Place them in our mother's arms and tell her they're from us. Tell her we love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, we do it every day, But there's an ache within our hearts that will never go away. Reunited with Dad and at peace. Love always, Ian and Caroline. ~ Gran, Yesterday we said goodbye to a very dignified, proud and graceful woman, devoted grandmother, great grandmother and most of all our Gran. Your love and devotion to us was always second to none. You always took the time no matter how busy, to educate, encourage and enrich our lives in every possible way. You made each and every one of us feel special and unique. You encouraged us to respect others, follow our dreams, never give up, and most of all enjoy life. The time we spent together during school holiday adventures and the many drop in breakfasts, lunches and teas that all the grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoyed will be cherished forever. We will miss you Gran in every way and we will always remember to have our biscuit tins full. Your memory will live on in us all. Love you always. Your grandchildren, Tania and Kristjan, Vanessa and Dean, Jason and Renee, Daniel and Fleur, Benjamin and Cristie, Damien and Christie and great grandchildren Cooper, Addison, Havana, Oliver, Amelia, William, Vincent, Sienna, Paris, Liliana, Mila, Harvey, Fletcher, Archie and Lincoln. ~ Goodbye my wonderful sister, We will meet in the future. Love, Wilma. A private family service has been held.
