It’s hard to put into words what you’ve meant to me, because you were never just one thing you were comfort, guidance, laughter, and home all wrapped into one
You had this way of making everything feel okay. Whether it was a warm hug, a bowl of soup, or just being in your presence, you made the world feel softer and safer.
Thank you for the little things the packed lunches, the magic of the Balloon Lady, the way your home was always open. Those moments might have seemed small, but they are the ones that have stayed with me the most
You showed me what it means to care for people, to create a space where others feel welcome, and to lead with kindness. That’s something I’ll carry with me every day.
I’ll miss you more than I can say, and my honour one day to be a Ma just like you xx

Lavina, a beautiful lady who will be greatly missed. I have so many treasured memories of time spent with Lavina and Mervyn at Cobden.
To Sheryl, Neil and families, may your hearts be filled with the memories of Lavina's warmth and love, as you navigate this difficult time.
