To my beautiful wife,
I can’t explain the pain and loneliness
I am feeling at this time.
Tears in my eyes will wipe away
But the love in my heart is here to stay
Until I meet you again.
Loving you always,
your husband, Pasquale.
Mum, our hearts are broken.
You have left a void that can't be filled.
Your work here is done. God called you home to take you to rest.
We are comforted to know you are now in the arms of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Until we meet again, we love you Mum.
Anna and Roy xx
Mum, I love you so much and I am going to miss you
and your phone calls, asking me when am I coming home
from work so dinner would be ready.
Mornings aren’t the same since you have gone.
Our morning routine was, I would look out the back window
and there she was at her kitchen window waving and
I knew coffee was ready and I was on my way.
One day we will be reunited enjoying our coffee
and having our daily chat. Missing and loving you.
Your loving son, Donny xx
Mum, where do I even begin?
Life without you will never be the same.
Our heart is broken and the emptiness and pain I can’t explain.
I am so going to miss our nightly phone calls and
the first thing you would ask ‘how are the kids?'
Mum, you always thought of everyone else and put yourself aside.
There are so many great memories and
stories that I will tell my kids about you and the beautiful legacy
you left behind. Love and miss you forever,
Elena and Vince xx
Dearest Nonna,
The deep pain we feel cannot be expressed in words.
We will keep the good memories of you in our heart.
We will love you forever.
Thank you for being our Nonna.
James, David, Rebecca and Michael xxxx
‘He heals the broken-hearted,
and binds up their wounds’.
Nonna, we will miss your pasta and cutoletti,
lessons and life teachings and thank you for looking after us.
Love your grandchildren, Olivia, Claudia and Phillip xxx
Nonna I am going to miss you always
checking up on me if I have eaten so you can
prepare a bowl of pasta for me,
no matter what time of the day it was.
Thank you for welcoming Elisa into your family
and treating her like your own granddaughter,
you will be forever loved and dearly missed.
Phillip and Elisa xx
Thank you for everything!
Nonna showed us unconditional love and
support to us which is something we will
always treasure about her.
There was an instant sense of comfort to her
when we’d be in her presence.
Her sense of humour and laugh was contagious.
Everything about her was positive and joyful.
We couldn’t be more thankful and
grateful for a more beautiful, loving and caring Nonna.
We miss and love you.
Stephanie, Domenic and Christina xxx
Even though we did not get a chance to meet,
I know you will always be looking over me. Anthony xx
The family are very grateful and extend
a sincere thank you to all the Doctors and Nurses at the RAH,
in the Stroke Unit for the wonderful care of their
much loved Teresa.
