To my darling wife, Mary, you were the love of my life.

No words can express how heartbroken I feel.

You were a loving and caring wife and I will miss you more and more each day.

I have been truly blessed to share my life with you, 

a life we built together and were proud of.

You were my powerhouse. You will always be with me.

Your loving husband, Phillip.

 

Mum, the love you felt for your family was like no other.

You were such a kind-hearted woman of abundant strength, determination and compassion.

You fought hard to stay with us to the very end.

We miss you in ways that words cannot express.

Mum, you will live in our hearts forever.

 

Nonna, you have had a profound impact on all of our lives 

and you are deeply loved by us all.

You are with the angels.

Love from your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren.
