64 years of marriage, love, laughter and building a wonderful family together.

Forever Mine, Forever Yours

Until we meet again darling.

Mum – If roses grow in heaven, lord please pick a bunch for me,

place them in my mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.

Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day,

but there’s an ache within my heart, that will never go away.

We will always miss you mum, please give Jen a kiss from me.

Until we meet again.

Much love from your son Wayne and his partner, Julie.

Our beautiful Nan,

We are heartbroken, we loved you so much, we are going to miss your special touch.

We will hold pops hand always Nan.

Irreplaceable.

Love always Matt, Leish, Len, Pip and Jaggy.

 

Nan, you truly were one of the best and we feel so blessed that you were ours.

The love of a grandparent is one of life’s greatest gifts and I’ll be forever grateful my girls felt your gift the way I did.

We promise to keep taking Pop on your Sunday drives with the windows down singing “Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do……”

Give Mum a big hug for us up there.

Love always Guy, Narelle, Ella, Millie and Aria xoxox

My mother was a woman like no other.

She gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, fought for me,

held me, shouted at me, kissed me, but most importantly

loved me unconditionally.

There is something about losing a mother that is permanent and

inexpressible—a wound that will never quite heal.

There are no goodbyes for us.

Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts

Much loved mother of Cindy, and dearly loved mother-in-law of Mick. Adored Nan of Rynelle,

Haylee, Bud and Sophie and their partners Chris, Kristie and Ronnie.

Ever so loved Great Big-Nanny to Makenzie, Peyton, Hallie, Noni and Boston.

 

Roses are red, skies are blue, you can leave us, but we will not forget you. Nan, you were the most amazing nan and big nanny we could ever have asked for. We were so spoilt to have had you for so long. Rest easy Nan, I’m on pancake duty now. Love you forever, Rynelle, Chris, Makenzie and Peyton and Chief

 

With a hug and a kiss, I did not want to part,

but your spirit in life lives on in my heart.

Love you forever Nan.

Hails

To My dearest Nan
Your memories will always be with us, you were the best Nan and great Nanny to us and our children and you will be sadly missed. Your hugs, kisses and cheeky sense of humour will be forever missed.

Forever in our hearts Bud, Kristie, Noni and Boston.

 

To our dearest Nan

We will hold the special times close to our hearts.

Missing you forever,

Love Sophie, Ronnie and Hallie

 

Precious mum of Narelle (Rel, Nan of Jake and Maddi.

No words can express the pain of losing you.

You brought so much sunshine into our lives and made us laugh endlessly,

always singing and having a little dance.

Missing you so much, forever in our hearts, forever loved.

    John and Extended family my thoughts are with you all, as a little boy I remember the early mornings late nights that John and family carted hundreds and thousands of hay bales into the sheds along the banks of the Wodonga Creek. “de Kerilleau” I am sure Betty delivered the meals for the boys.
    Take care John as Betty was a great contributor to our community

    Vic always shared stories about his neighbour , Betty , and I am sure he continues as memories stay for ever. He cherished her a lot and he liked her warm-hearted attitude.
    She was a major contributor to the Mitchell Street Community. We can feel the space she leaves. But she will be looked after well in her new place…
    Wishing you strength.
    Our condolences to the family and a special big hug to John
