Dear Aunty,
Although I can’t be there at the funeral, my heart is with everyone as we say goodbye to such a special woman.
Some of my most treasured memories growing up are from my teenage years spent with you and
Uncle Gary on weekends. Your home was always full of warmth, laughter and love.
I also remember babysitting the kids and feeling so lucky to be part of those moments with your family.
Even after we lost Uncle Gary far too young, you remained such a strong and loving presence in our lives.
You were always my Aunty, and you always will be.
I feel so grateful for the memories we shared and the place you hold in my heart.
Those memories will stay with me forever.
Rest peacefully now, Aunty. If Uncle Gary, Nana and Grandad is there waiting for you,
give them the biggest hug from me.
Sending all my love from Australia.
You will always be remembered and always be loved.
