When I am sad and lonely, I know I’ll hear you whisper, “Cheer up, and carry on”. Each time I see your photo, You’ll smile at me and say, “Don’t cry, I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again some day”.

Wonderful memories of true friendship, family celebrations full of fun, food and laughter; and travel adventures. Always cherish Jan’s sense of fun and positivity, saying” we always have fun don’t we April”. Love to Athol & family from April & family.

Dear Athol and family, Thinking of you all at this time. I have very fond memories
of Janet and the times we shared with the girls from “Feral Friends.”
She often said she thought I was very quiet until one day she saw me breaking up with laughter at one of her quick side remarks about Cath White. From then on she always knew she could make me laugh. She had such a quick sense of humour and wonderful playful grin.
Keep smiling for her Anita and Dwight Smith.

Jane Louise bought me home to meet you after school one day, you welcomed me into your home and you treated me like I belonged somewhere, like I was family, that meant the world to me as a 16 year old who had been feeling so lost for so long.

I called you my “other” Mum, I watched you go through your transplant and get a 2nd chance at life, you kept the teddy bear I gave you on your bed for the last 27 years because it had meant something to you, that blew me away.

You were there for many milestone moments in my life, my engagement party, my weddings, my 21st, so many other memories I have of you which I will cherish and never forget.

The last time I saw you was at Jane and Frankie’s house before Jane and I embarked on our Mario kart golf buggy paddock adventure, you told us to be ladies and not swear, we were lucky the microphone on my Facebook live wasn’t working so you didn’t hear our language.

I wish I could have seen you one last time, so many things I wish I could say. My heart is broken into a million pieces for Karen, Charles, Rebecca, Jane and for my “other” Dad Athol and the rest of the family and friends.

Thankyou so much for always being there for me, and for treating me like a part of your family Janet, I love you.. xx

Rest peacefully my “other” Mum.. xx

~ Until we meet again Nanna ~

Those special memories of you will always bring us a smile, if only we could have you back for just a little while longer.
Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to.
You always meant so very much to us and always will.
We loved when you would visit us and brought your famous Yoyo’s, as they were the very best.
The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause us pain but you’re forever in our hearts.
Until we meet again we know you will always be looking over us.
Love always Oliver and Thomas
on behalf of all your great grandchildren – Daria, Ahad, Clayton & Scarlett xo
