How do I say goodbye to the one that gave me life?

Grief is the price we pay for love.

Mum, you ae the heart of so many of our sweetest memories.

you and my darling father created for our family.

Rest in peace with dad,

until we meet again.

Darling Mum, having you as our mum was truly a blessing.

You showed us every day what makes life special

and that is family, friendship and comfort found in faith.

Mum, you were accepting, kind and loving to everyone you met.

Mamma Mia rest gentle,

now reunited with our darling Dad, your one true love.

Love you and God Bless.

There is something so powerful

about Nonna in a child's life.

Nonni are safety, softness and unconditional love,

wrapped into one person.

They shape our childhood

in the quietest but strongest ways.

Through warm hugs, full plates,

gentle words and the kind of love that never fades.

With love your grandchildren and great grandchildren.
