Tributes

1. Aunty has looked after us for as long as we can remember. From 3 months old, until we were way too old for a babysitter but just wanted to see her, Aunty became a part of our family too. A radiating energy of love, joy, compassion & light, Aunty had more warmth than anyone we’ve ever known. She gave the best hugs, and would always know what to say to cheer us up, but her presence was always more than enough. Even as we got older and eventually, sadly, had more of a long distance relationship, it still felt like she was there for us, like she somehow knew what was going on. She has always felt like a guardian angel. We both wish we could’ve given her one last squish, but we hope she knows how much we love her now and forever.
   Grateful for all the love & light you brought into our world, cherishing every memory as always. Love you so much Aunty,

2. We remember a truly beautiful soul — kind, selfless, and always there for others.
   Stanija’s faith wasn’t just something she believed, it was something she lived every day, through her generosity, compassion, and quiet acts of care. She touched so many lives and leaves behind a lasting legacy of love.
   Stanija, you will be deeply missed.

3. Stanija,
   You were a beacon of light for the Lord, always offering comforting words & a compassionate heart. You were a blessing, a partner in the faith & a best friend who was always there. We will miss your encouraging words.
   Jesus says,”I Am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die….”
   Though your absence leaves an ache & we didn’t get to say goodbye we rejoice in the promise of eternal life, knowing that you are now resting in the presence of our Saviour & this isn’t a goodbye but rather until we meet again.
   Rest in perfect peace our dear sister in Christ, till we meet again.
   Love you
   Maria, Natalie & Ed

5. Aunty, words can’t describe the impact you have made on not only my life, but so many other children. The best parts of my childhood are filled with you. if you were to ask me what you taught me, it was to be kind, to love unconditionally and be generous. Your love will always be found in so many people, like a little piece of you that tells others to be kind.

6. Definitely a person full of love. She always helped create great memories, even in the hardest times. Sitting on me when I was naughty was never the last resort. I love you, Aunty. Memory eternal.
