Mum, I can’t believe you have gone. When you went, a part of me left with you. You lived for those you loved and those you loved will remember you. As we stood beside your bedside and watched you fade away our hearts broke, but to keep you here would have been selfish. Your body was tired, but it was time to let you go. I will love you and never forget your love. Rest now in the eternal peace that you truly deserve. Love you always Nick.
Mum, you were a wonderful mother-in-law to me who was always there when I needed your help and guidance. You loved me as if I was your own. “Tu sei la figlia mia” you would always say to me, I hope I have made you proud. I will always cherish the time we spent together. Nothing was ever too much for your family, your love was unconditional. Rest in peace now Mum, go join your family. Love always Rosina.
Our beautiful Nonna. We are forever grateful for the love you poured into our lives. Your warmth, strength and wisdom will live on in everything we do. You taught us the meaning of family and unconditional love. You will forever be in our hearts. Rest peacefully, reunited with Nonno. All our love always Daniella, Jonathon and Sofia Josef and Melissa, Michael, Lisa and Alena.
