Our precious Mum, Words cannot express the heartache we are feeling. Not only have we lost our Mother, but also our best friend. Thank you for all the love, support and guidance you have given us. We will love you and miss you for all eternity but the memories of you will live forever in our hearts. Reunited with Dad. Loving you always, Paula and Joe Furina Dear Mum, We just can't believe that you are gone, and we can't imagine going through life without you. You were the most beautiful mother in the world, loyal and devoted to your family. You gave us strength, security and protection, and it was a privilege to walk this Earth as your children. You taught us the importance in life to love each other and stay close to your faith. Mum, you will be sorely missed and forever in our hearts. From Lisa and Dino Pisaniello Our darling and wonderful Mum, Words cannot express the way we feel. God broke our hearts entirely when he took you away from us. You were always there for us and you gave us so much unconditional love and support in our lives that we will never forget. Our lives will never be the same without you, but in our hearts you will always be there. Beautiful memories are all we have left of the one we loved so much and the one we will never forget. Rest in peace now precious Mum, until we meet again. Love you always, Maria and Tony Pisto Our beautiful Nonna, Words cannot express the pain we feel right now from losing you. We thank you so much for all the love, warmth and kindness you gave us over the years. We are so blessed to have shared so many wonderful times with you and to have created such beautiful memories. We will miss the sound of your voice, your stories, your presence, but most of all we will just miss you. Until we meet again, you will be forever in our hearts. All our love always, Silvana and Joe Tropiano Our dearest Nonna, Our hearts ache at the thought of knowing we will never see your smiling face again. You were so strong and always put others first. We watched you suffer for so long but as you took your last breath there was finally calmness and peace on your beautiful face. We take comfort in knowing that you are now reunited with Nonno after 17 years. We are so grateful that our kids have grown up with such a loving great-grandmother who will always have a special place in their hearts. Forever in our hearts, Diana and Joe Ciampa Nonna, you sacrificed so much for us. You were selfless and patient, wise, and abundantly kind. We couldn't have been blessed with a more special Nonna. You modelled a gracious life as a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, auntie, friend, and devoted Catholic. You will be with us forever. Love always, Sandra and Adrian Pennino Nonna, you had an immense devotion and love for God and your family, and we can't believe that you're gone. Your heart was filled with kindness and happiness, and you were so selfless and nurturing. We found you inspiring, energetic and uplifting. We love you and will miss you forever. Love from Anthony and Jessica Pisaniello Nonna, you were the sunshine of our lives. You always gave us words of wisdom, encouragement and everlasting love. You were like a mother to us, who always wanted the best for our family, as family was your life. You had a heart of pure gold; always giving and never asking for anything in return. Even though you have left this world, we promise you will never leave our hearts and we will never forget our precious memories. You will always be our shining star, a pure light that will never darken. We love you with all of our hearts Nonna. Rest in peace until our hearts meet again. Your loving grandchildren, Jenny and Ross Monteleone Our dearest Nonna, Words cannot express the hurt and void in our hearts as we say goodbye. You were a beautiful gift to our family, and we were truly blessed to have you in our lives. It will be difficult to say goodbye, but love like yours will remain in each of our hearts. We will miss you Nonna, but will forever cherish the precious memories that we have of you. We know you will be looking down on us, and that you will continue to love us as much as we will always love you. Rest in peace, until our hearts meet again. All our love always, Nadia and Joseph Behar Our beautiful 'Nonna Bardo', 'Nonna Rosa', 'Nonnina', We are so lucky to have had you as such a special part in each of our lives. You treated us like your own children, and we have so many precious memories that we will hold in our hearts forever. You had a heart of gold and an infectious smile that we will always cherish. We know that when we look up to the sky, you will be the brightest star looking down on us with Nonno. God has you in his keeping, and we will forever have you in our hearts. We love you so much, Nonna - forever our angel.
