  2. Mum,
    As my mind begins to process, my heart aches. I feel your presence and overwhelming peace. You always knew what to say. Your love for dad, family and friends and welcoming nature continues to inspire me. No more Friday coffees, we knew this day would come. Thank you for being my mum. Heaven has gained the most precious angel. Love Jen x

  3. Mum, you were my first love, my biggest supporter and my confidante. You taught my what love is, how to be strong and how to treat others. I owe everything I am to you and love you more than words can say. Although you now find peace in another world, your love, wisdom and thoughts I will carry with me forever. All my love, your “sweet baby boy”

  4. Grandma,

    As our hearts process this difficult time, I remember your “I’m fine, don’t worry” attitude. We know you are at peace, flying high whilst remaining forever in our hearts and memory. I’m glad you’ll have the best seat in the house on our wedding day. Thank you for your unwavering encouragement and for always believing in me.

    Deeply loved and missed.

  5. Dear Richard and family,
    Marian was one of the precious women who befriended, loved, modelled, taught, discipled, mentored and guided us through our early married years, aways willing to share her wisdom and life experience with us. We will miss her greatly, and pray Gods blessing and comfort upon you all at this sad time. She adored her family, and was loyal to her friends and served the Lord with gladness. She is absent from the body, but present with the Lord. . RIP lovely lady. ❤️💐

  8. I would like to send my deepest condolences and heartfelt respect to everyone in her family. I feel grateful to have known nan over the past three years. In that time, she was always so warm, kind, and welcoming, and I will never forget her gentle nature and the lovely treats she would always share with so much care. She made people feel at home without even trying.

    It is especially meaningful to have known her during this time as Georgia and I prepare for our wedding, and we will always carry that memory with us.

    May heaven welcome her gentle soul, where she continues to bake sweet treats with love and peace forever

    Although I only got to know you over the past couple of years it seemed like I’ve known you all my life. I miss driving you to ladies group and sharing such rich and wonderful conversation in the car. It was an honour to share a window of your life. Your gentle and peaceful nature and words of wisdom glowed. My prayers are lifted for Richard and the families for the comforting arms of Jesus around you all at this time. Till we meet again.

  24. Family, loyalty, Love, reassuring compassion and gentle guidance were just a few of Marian’s virtues and strengths. If you believe in the existence of earth angels, special humans who magically appear in moments of sadness joy or grief then i’m certain this was Marian’s gift.
    We were blessed to have shared our lives with our sister who to us was very own earth angel.
    Now you have your real wings Marian Fly High.
    I will miss you terribly
    Eternal Love
    Your little sister Joan
