Mum,
Our backbone,
Our role model,
It all began with you.

Together with Dad you created a legacy,
with your loving hands you raised us six children
and instilled in us the true meaning of life… Family.

With an open heart you welcomed our partners into your family
and guided us as we became parents
to your beautiful grandchildren.

Mum, we know you were proud of the children you raised
and we were honoured to love and look after you
till God took you into his arms.

May you now rest peacefully with Dad
watching over us with pride.
Forever grateful, Forever missed, Forever loved.

Yiayia,
You held us all as newborns,
the bond began that day,
you fed us and you bathed us
you were never far away.

Your home, it was our haven,
a safe and humble place to stay,
your door was always open,
for us to eat and play.

Through life you walked beside us,
teaching lessons along the way,
your stories, love and guidance,
made us who we are today.

Great-grandchildren are plenty
as we raised children of our own,
God blessing you with another one,
the day he called you home.

Now rest your tired hands Yiayia,
for in our hearts you will stay,
as we lovingly remember you,
each and every day.
