Mum,
A life of ups and downs, a women with a lot of troubles without any worries.
You would do as you please while spreading love and kindness along the way.
A special lady who I got to call home, a home that was strong dispite it’s cracks, a colourful charming one.
Being the youngest daughter, the difficult one (with a smile 😃) you taught me more than any textbook could.
You taught me grief, kindness, creativity and resilience.
I knew you where strong but you sure proved this, nothing could stop you. One determined lady everyone would say.
As a child we felt our differences, as you would say “I don’t know where you came from” as an adult sharing the same traits and quirks.
With you comes healing, growth and happiness, I remember your smiling face, smiling eyes and smile.
The special spots you found joy in visiting time again, the cute things that where so you, most of all your mischievous cheekiness way.
The laughs and the worries I wish I could do it all over again.
Archer “Nanny has climbed up a bean stalk, can we go with her”.
I know you would be laughing.
We love you, Mumma Bear with all of our hearts forever.

I will always remember the times hitting the ball over your fence at Butterworth Crescent and the times spent as a young child with Shannon.
Rest in Peace.

Auntie Lorraine, we are so grateful to have spent time with you not only now but throughout our younger years, you were always such a wonderful gracious lady.
I remember when you and my uncle Rick meet he was was the happiest man in the street – I could always see this and the love he showed for you.
I was so lucky to have spent some precious time with you a couple of weeks ago and will cheerish these moments forever.
You were so strong and brave, my heart is broken it must have been love…RIP my beautiful Auntie
