Dearest Mum,

Your love was most sincere, and your warmth radiated filling the room. We were so lucky to have you teach us so many life lessons that we shall treasure. What we have gone through in life will shape us for ever after. The angels have been luckily gifted your pure gorgeous soul. Your kind gentle arms and warm special kisses will sadly be missed.

We love you more than words can express, from your eldest daughter Maria and Sam.

Our Dear Nonna,

The one that always put everyone first. The strong, loving, nurturing mainstay of our family. You gave us all the most beautiful gift of life. We will always cherish the special times and moments we were fortunate to spend with you. When cooking your sauce and “Nonna Biscuits” we could smell them when walking up the driveway and it would always excite us. You spent hours cooking to make us all happy. We will never be able to make them as good as you. All the knowledge you gave to us will be handed down to our own children. We hope that one day we will be half the person you were. Give Nonno, Uncle Tony and Nina a big kiss from us.

Love always your grandchildren and great-grandchildren,

Frank,

Rosalyn, Tony, Victoria and Anthony,

Lorenzo and Claudia,

Marco, Gabrielle and Freya,

Angelo.

Dearest Mum,

Living next door to you was a blessing as you guided me through some of life’s toughest moments. I am forever grateful for the many memorable times we shared at home and while picking cherries at the farm together. Thank you for always making me feel like your own daughter and helping to raise my sons. The love and care you showed Tony and I will never be forgotten, and I take comfort knowing you are now reunited with him. I feel an emptiness knowing you and Dad are no longer next-door and will deeply miss your presence and unconditional love. Give Tony a big kiss for me.

Forever in my heart, Rosina. Xo

Our adored Nonna,

We were so fortunate to grow up with you next door, helping to raise and care for us. Spending our childhood with you was an immense privilege and pleasure and from our beginning until your end, you were by our side. We always felt your unconditional love and a sense of belonging and comfort when we were with you. We admired your strength, devotion and ability to remain resilient even throughout the most challenging times. The precious time we spent together will be forever remembered and we were fortunate to have been taught so many lessons by you - we promise to continue your legacy.

Forever in our hearts,

Love Johnny, Anthony and Francesca. xoxoxo

Mum, Nonna and Bisnonna,

Thank you for being such a loving, caring and selfless woman.

Your strength and determination was immense and we will miss not seeing you.

We are at peace knowing you are reunited with Dad, Tony and Nina and no longer suffering.

Together with Dad/Nonno you were the pillar of the family that will never be forgotten. We are extremely lucky that your great-grandchildren were able to have such a great bond with you

and we will miss seeing your face light up when you saw them.

Rest in Peace Mum/Nonna.

Aurelia, Angelo, Nicholas, Michael and Daniela,

Danielle and Thomas, Angelo and Antonio.

To our beautiful Ma,

There are not enough words to express how much we love you. You filled our lives with so much love and happiness, sacrificing everything to give us a great life. Ma, you were the happiest when your grandchildren visited, giving that great Nonna love. I will miss your sweet kisses, holding your hand or just sitting with you. Not seeing you everyday will be our greatest heartache. Thank you for showing us courage, strength and most important family morals.

Finally reunited again with the love of your life, our beloved Dad and children who you have missed for so long. We love you Bella Mamma, now rest in peace.

“All that I am or hope to be I owe to you my MUM”

Love Clera and John.

To Our Loving Nonna,

We can’t begin to express the heart break we feel to not have you with us. You have been a second mother to us, showing us unconditional love always being our number one fan. From supporting us and guiding us through our lives, through all the school ‘Grandparent Days’ and cooking days we will never forget. To call you our Nonna and to be loved by you is one of the biggest blessings of our lives. We know that all the love and memories we shared will last a lifetime but will never be enough to stop missing you every single day.

We will love you forever, rest now Nonna you are finally home with Nonno.

Love always, James and Jess, Giorgia and Christopher.

The family wish to sincerely thank Dr. Vinci and staff, the carers at
