Dear Aunt Rita, I will always remember your laughter and bubbly personality. I remember as a small girl when our glamorous Aunt came to visit from England, and then moved to Australia to marry Uncle John. We lived in different countries but you were always a “larger than life”personality in our lives. You lived an exciting life and I am sure you are now playing the piano and dancing in heaven. Much love, your niece, Anne
Dear Mum, Thank you for your love and support through life. I will always remember your sense of humour, kind heart and generous nature. I miss you so much. You will always be in my heart. Much love, your son, Ian
Dearest Rita, You will be missed forever especially on our next trip to Australia from New Zealand as we will not be seeing you. We so loved our Friday night dinners at the Food World cafe with you & John, Joan, Ian & I. We had such a good time & of course lot’s of laughs. Then there were our train trips to Sydney with Me, you & Joan always sitting together. One occasion I turned up with freshly baked muffins out of the oven, tea & coffee. As dear Joan always sat between us we used her as our table to put things on. We also loved the Christmas day breaky the five of us which we had at your place where we drank Champagne & you made the best eggs Benedict. Such wonderful times even though we varied in ages with me being the baby of our group of five. Not a Friday goes by or a Christmas day & on my Christmas tree hangs your silver bear you gave me from your tree to me for mine you are in our thoughts always. We love all our memories.
