Dear Mum,
Even though you are no longer here with me,
you have left me with the beautiful memories.
Thank you for always loving and guiding me.
You gave so freely of your love and generous care and
you are still with me, by my side and deep within my heart.
Always loved, always missed. Until we meet again,
Your loving son, Bill xxx
Mum is no longer with me, but the love
she gave me and the lessons she taught me,
will stay with me forever. Goodbye Mum,
Love Stuart xxx
Mum, you’ve given me the gifts that matter most.
As a mother you have shaped my life and made me the person I am.
Your strong sense of values, of fairness, of right and wrong are all part of me.
My outlook on life, my sense of humour, my interests
and my talents, I can see you in them all.
It makes me happy and proud to know that the
qualities in you I love and admire so much are part of me.
If I could take all the love, respect and gratitude
I feel and wrap them up in pretty paper, If I could take all the
memories we’ve shared and tie them together with ribbon and bows…..
My gift could never be as wonderful as the gifts you have given me…..
A happy childhood, a loving family, a good home
and life itself. Mum, you are always with me, in my
thoughts, in my heart and in the very fabric of my life.
I love you, Mum. Missing you.
Your Loving Daughter, Marika xxx
Our Nanny.
To us she was a steady hand and a gentle voice,
the keeper of our stories and the heart of our family.
We miss her conversations and banter about the Supercars,
calls and recipes. Her lessons will be with me always.
With love and gratitude,
Brad & Dean xxx
Our beloved Nanny,
You will missed and remembered. So many joyful times
we had together. I will miss my peanut butter
sandwiches chopped into four. Now you are together with Pop.
Lots of love Nanny,
Dean xxx

Marika and family – sending my deepest sympathy on the passing of Dorothy
We first met Dot when we moved in next door nearly ten years ago. From the very start Dot was a lovely and friendly neighbor, interested in our wellbeing, with lots of helpful advice about our neighborhood. She was so kind she always brought around a bag of treats for the kids at Christmas and their birthdays and was the first neighbor we’ve had that treated us like family. Dot was like having an adopted nanna for a neighbor. We will always remember Dot for being so kind, and thoughtful, treating us like extended family, and will miss her beautiful, kind, and loving presence in our lives. Our thoughts and prays go to Marika, Bill, Stuart, Brad and Dean. Suzy, Benjamin,James and Amelia.
To Marika and family. Condolences on the passing of your mother. May you find comfort in the memories of a wonderful life you shared together.

Our wonderful straight talking “Dot”, you always told it like it was. At one of our dinners you asked me if it was okay to have a beer instead of a wine, not a problem I said I’ll have one with you, from then on you gave me a glass to bring each month so you could get a better grip on your drink. You were determined not ever to be left behind .You made lots of friends at Mildura Vision Australia, everyone was delighted to see you at our 2024 paddle boat Christmas party, lots of smiles and happy memories,we will all cherish. We will all miss your cheeky smile and one liners. Go in peace Dot knowing that the magpies have moved up to my place and I am now feeding them, on your behalf. Rest in peace our forever friend Dot.
In our hearts forever

Our deepest sympathy to Dot’s family on the passing of your loved Mother.
We have known Dot for many years when in Officer; Ian and his mates often visited there. Also your parents would visit mine in Pakenham.
I remember when Dot ran their Fruit Shop in Main street Pakenham. We have many happy memories of visits at Lakes Entrance, too.
A much loved friend of the Cornwall and Studd families.
Treasure your memories of a loving Mother.
