Mum,
You were there for me at the start and I was there for you at the end. I have been so blessed to have had such a loving mother in my life. Always kind and generous, sincere and dignified woman respected by all. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten. I love you dearly and will forever have you in my heart. Maria.

Mum,
What you suffered you told but few, You never deserved what you went through. Tired, weary, you made no fuss, But you tried so hard to stay with us. Silent thoughts hold precious memories. From your loving son-in-law, Bill.

Mum,
You gave so much, and asked so little. You were a person with a heart of gold, Memories of you I will treasure and hold. You don't have to suffer anymore, But rest in the peace you so much deserve. I love you and will miss you. Your loving daughter Marlene.

Grandma,
Your life was full of loving deeds, forever thoughtful of our special needs. Today and tomorrow, our whole lives through, we will always love you and cherish you. With love, Pam, Con, Steven, Victoria and Billy.

To our dear Nanna,
Words cannot express the extent of our sadness now that you are no longer with us. Thank you so much for all you have done for our family after all of these years and you will remain forever in our hearts. Love Jamie, Anita, Liam and Tiah.

Dear Nana,
The love you showed to all of your grandchildren will be remembered forever. Nick and Dimi.

Dear Grandma, We had a wonderful grandmother,
One who never really grew old; Her smile was made of sunshine, And her heart was solid gold; Her eyes were as bright as shining stars, And in her cheeks fair roses you see.

We had a wonderful grandmother,
And that's the way it will always be. So Loving and Loved. Diana, Teena, Helena, Anita and Donna xx
