BAILEY, Frances Elizabeth
Passed away at Myrtleford Lodge on Tuesday 10th January, 2023, after recent years of health decline.
Cherished for every living moment they shared, by husband Hilton (deceased), the love of her life and soul mate, Dearly loved and cherished mother of our family, mother of Ron (dec), Ken and wife Carol, Elizabeth and husband Mark, Jules and husband Craig, her many grandchildren and great grandchildren, and her sisters Carol and Bobbie.

We have spoken our final words now,
No more warm eyes, the soul-to-soul of it,
That tender bridge between us.

Our hearts broke slowly in shards,
As your inch-by-inch fading unfolded,
Soft, weakening hands held,
The whispering hush of your ever-more fragile voice.

No more will we hear your gentle giggles,
No more to feel your worrying and care about us.

But death does not take you away like some final thud with no mercy,
Your whole life,
Honest and well-lived,
The strong and wonderful woman that you were,
Kind, big-hearted, forgiving, wise, humble,
She is here too.

We are blessed to know such a mother’s love,
And hold that golden gift of you within us now and always.

Carry our deep love for you under your wings now,
As you leave.

May you have peace, our dearest of hearts,
Never forgotten.
