Dear Mum,
It doesn’t matter how old you are,
we always need our Mother.
You gave us
such wonderful care and love.
You loved us all and you were so proud
of all your grandchildren.
We were blessed
to have you in our lives.
Even in your last days
that you were in so much pain,
you showed us strength,
resilience and love.
A mother’s love
will always be treasured.
You are our first love,
you held us close to your heart.
You may be gone now
but you will never be forgotten.
We will hold you close in our hearts.
May you now rest in peace.
With much love.
Pasquale (Pat) and Lina.
Bella Mamma,
From a young age,
you have always taught me
how to stand on my own two feet.
You always managed
to get us through the toughest of times,
which has made me
the person I am today.
Your sense of humour and love of life
will always be
my dearest memories of you.
Your pleasures in life were simple,
but enough for you.
May you rest in Peace with Dad;
words cannot express
how much I will miss you.
Until we meet again Mum -
Love Tommasina.
Dear Ma,
You have been a part of my life
for 56 years and I will cherish
the memories we have made together,
all my love Donato.
To our Dearest Nonna Maria (Mia),
We have never known life without you.
Our lives were truly enriched
because you were a part of them.
We are so lucky to have had you there
for every occasion.
Our kids are so blessed
to have you as their Bisnonna.
There was never a time
that you didn’t check
to see if our bellies were full
(hai mangiato?),
if our kids were hungry
or simply what was happening
in our lives.
Your blankets are your legacy
and so special to us,
they will remain a part
of the beautiful memories
we have of you.
Your cheekiness and quick wit
will always stay with us;
we see it in our kids.
Lots of love
from all your Grandchildren
and their families.
