Dear Mum,
It doesn’t matter how old you are, we always need our Mother.
You gave us such wonderful care and love.
You loved us all and you were so proud of all your grandchildren.
We were blessed to have you in our lives.
Even in your last days that you were in so much pain,
you showed us strength, resilience and love.
A mother’s love will always be treasured.
You are our first love, you held us close to your heart.
You may be gone now but you will never be forgotten.
We will hold you close in our hearts.
May you now rest in peace.
With much love.
Pasquale (Pat) and Lina.
Bella Mamma,
From a young age, you have always taught me how to stand on my own two feet.
You always managed to get us through the toughest of times,which has made me the person I am today.
Your sense of humour and love of life will always be my dearest memories of you.
Your pleasures in life were simple, but enough for you.
May you rest in Peace with Dad;
words cannot express how much I will miss you.
Until we meet again Mum –
Love Tommasina.
Dear Ma,
You have been a part of my life for 56 years and I will cherish the
memories we have made together, all my love Donato.
To our Dearest Nonna Maria (Mia),
We have never known life without you.
Our lives were truly enriched because you were a part of them.
We are so lucky to have had you there for every occasion.
Our kids are so blessed to have you as their Bisnonna.
There was never a time that you didn’t check to see if our bellies were full
(hai mangiato?),
if our kids were hungry or simply what was happening in our lives.
Your blankets are your legacy and so special to us, they will remain a part
of the beautiful memories we have of you.
Your cheekiness and quick wit will always stay with us; we see it in our kids.
Lots of love from all your Grandchildren and their families.
