Mamma, my heart aches with sadness, endless tears flow and it is hard to breathe. What it means for me to lose you, no-one will ever know. You have always been my strength, my rock, my anchor, the one constant and I have now been thrown off my axis. You were there for my first breath and I was there for your last breath, a unique bond throughout our lives only the two of us truly know. I will now hold you and our memories close within my heart until we hug again my carissima Mamma. Ti voglio tanto,tanto bene cara Mamma. All my love always and ever tua stella, Tammy xxx
To our dearest Nonna, we will always remember your wisdom, your humour, tenderness, patience and understanding. Your love knew no bounds and you lived your life for us each day. We will hold you in our hearts forever and you will live on with the "Nonna" stories we will continue to tell. After you, our adoring Nonna, the mould was indeed broken. Thank you for loving us so deeply. We love you more than there are stars in the sky, your adoring ’stronsetti’, Liam & Jayden xxx xxx
