To dearest Mumma bear
You are the strongest bravest person I know.
Thank you for all of your guidance and support though out our lives.
We will remember all the good times.
Love you forever 💓 💛
Rest in peace
Love Denise and John.
So much to thank you for Mumma Bear. So many wise sayings. You have been so brave. You can rest now. We will always love you. ❤️
Rhonda & Ian
Mumma, you were one of the most independant and tenacious spirits there was.
Thank you for showing us how to be brave and strong, we will always try and make you proud.
Rest peacefully, love always.
Vicki, Erwin Tahlia, Kris, Frankie, Chicago and Sieglinda
I will always cherish the memories made spending holidays with you at the beach, and in recent times the conversations we had. You always had so much love for us all and especially your great grandchildren. May you now rest peacefully, we always love you and will never forget you ❤️
Daniel, Chloe, Tiarrah, Jordan & Audrey
Dear Nanna,
I hope you’re resting in the lounge room upstairs today, smiling down to your family remembering and celebrating your time down here.
I’m thankful for the memories at the basin, finding Kangaroos and fossils near your place. Pa sneaking us cheese and biscuits right before dinner (he’s a cheeky bugger, spoiling our tea). We still ate the rissoles though!
Finally, thank you for raising our Mumma. She’s a fighter too, and I have a feeling she got that from you…
Praying for and thinking of you today ❤️
Love, Tahlia, Kristian, Frankie and Chicago xo
Nanna Dawn, you were always a beautiful, kind, gentle Nanna. You worked so hard and were so generous taking all three of us kids for all those years. Having my own, I understand now what that meant for you and Pa.
Thank you for finding Pa. He was one of your greatest gifts to us. I know he drove you mad sometimes but what fun you two must have had. He is the perfect silly balance for your careful and considered approach to life.
Thank you for passing on your deliberate and reflective qualities to me. You taught us the value of thinking things through and preparing for the future.
You always shared your love of music with me and always supported me. I would have loved to sing for you again. Matilda and I are singing together, I know you would love that. One day we will sing Moon River for you
All our love,
Leanne, Luke, Matilda, Henry and Logan xx
Dearest Nana,
Looking back on our memories from your contagious laugh and Beautiful smile.
Will never forget your lullaby’s you used to sing to me.
Or your not so gentle Hair brushing haha
Or our time together while Pa and Daniel and Leanne were Prawning.
So blessed to have these memories with you and so many more.
Rest now Nana I look for the brightest Star in the sky and think of you always
Love Amelia Marcus Cleo and Annabelle and Ace xxoo
