In Loving Memory of Mum

Five years – 1 September

Five years have passed since we said goodbye to Mum.

There have been changes, challenges, celebrations and new chapters. At the important moments, and sometimes the most ordinary ones, we still find ourselves thinking, Mum would have loved this!

We still talk about you, laugh about the things you would have said, and remember all those little things that made you Mum.

You remain very much a part of our family and of who we are.

We miss you Mum. We always will.

Five years gone, but never forgotten.

Loved then, loved now, loved always.

Forever loved by Raeta, Barry and family, Tamae, Julian and family.
