I want you to know how much you mean to me and always will, I promise I will try very hard to carry on your important work Your legacy of LOVE

Mum was a very kind & caring person,a loving wife and a nurturing mother She lived her life for the family. Between all the cooking, cleaning and washing, she always found what time she had to spend a little with us, whether it be helping us with homework or playing a simple board game, or consoling us when things went wrong. We got our fare share of discipline as kids growing up,the wooden spoon and the good old chinese burn, a dose of olive oil, but there was always a hug that came later. I can still remember Dad getting his hugs when he got home from work, and any time they got a quiet moment. Those hugs say more than any words can ever say because those hugs never stopped. Mum you were a charming,generous and loving person who'll be dearly missed. From your loving children. Chris.

The most loving and the most loved Nanna in the world.
