  4. Dear Auntie Pat

    Graceful, strong, caring, generous, loving, stoic, considerate, selfless, thoughtful, charming, marvelous and patient are words that spring to mind when we think of you. It was such a joyous and uplifting experience to be in your company and in your conversation. Your easy going nature was infectious – always caring about others and their lives while living your own.

    You endured so such with dignity and grace. You will always be loved, and you will always be remembered.

    We will remember your life – not your passing – and we choose to smile.

    What a aunt ….. you were just brilliant.

    Love

    Andrew, Sue, Jared, Tiff, Alex, Mitchell and Sophie Cairns

  15. Dad always told me, “Don’t you cry when you’re down”
    But mum, there’s a tear every time that I blink
    Oh, I’m in pieces, it’s tearin’ me up, but I know
    a heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved
    When I fell down you’d be there holdin’ me up
    Spread your wings as you go
    and I hope that I see the world as you did ’cause I know
    A life with love is a life that’s been lived
    When I fell down you’d be there holdin’ me up
    Spread your wings as you go
    You were an angel in the shape of my mum
    You got to see the person I have become
    Spread your wings and I know
    That when God took you back
    He said, “Hallelujah, you’re home”
