Liddy Noonan September 30, 2024 My heart breaks for Ava and Lilly, Greg, Virginia and everyone who knew Chantal. Ava and Lilly I hope you always know just how much your Mum loved you – even when we were just teenagers ourselves, your Mum always wanted to have a family and even though we weren’t in touch in real life, seeing her updates online about how proud she was of you always made me smile. I will always remember my dear friend from my school days and hope that everyone who loved her so much gets some comfort from knowing just how well she will be remembered.

Leanne O’Sullivan September 27, 2024 Sincere condolences and love to Virginia, Greg, Paddy, Amber, Ava, Lilly, Belinda, Gary and family and extended Quinn and Lee families. A beautiful soul gone too soon. Liza and Wayne McCosh and family.
Liza McCosh September 26, 2024 I don’t even know where to start… it feels like someone is playing a sick joke! From as far as I can remember we were thick as thieves, weekends at Dossie and PJs, Concerts on the back of the Bedford, Stealing the Kingswood for a trip down to Dalys, The excitement to get the new maccas calendar, shopping trips with Dossie, Sneaking me into the pubs when I was way too young and passing out on Mississippi Moonshine! Sharing a room when we were teenagers, Quoting Cosi endlessly, more than my cousin, my sister. Honoured to be apart of your wedding, proud to see you become a mum, forever grateful for becoming Aunty MAM. I never dreamed I would ever be writing this post. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, way too many to mention, thank you for allowing the special relationship I have with your beautiful girls, the kids I never had, as they say! Thank you for being you! Life is just so cruel, you were only just beginning to live your life properly, moved into your unit, found your soulmate and were so bloody happy. I am forever grateful that you met James and had those few months of love and happiness. I will look after your babies for you, they were your life, I will make sure they always know how you loved them more than life itself. How they were always your biggest achievement in life. I will make sure Baxter and Megan are looked after and I will take the little comfort in knowing you’re up there with Dossie, Stacey and your first baby Max. Love you Channy. Gone way too soon, please tell me this is bad dream, to hear that loud laugh of yours one more time… there are no words…. 😶 💋🥰😘
PS.. Thanks for the endless signs you’ve shown me since you’ve left us xx
Forever Heartbroken 💔
Sam Watts September 26, 2024 Debs poem to Chantal
There is no poem that says what is in my heart today.
There is no poem for loss like a knife to my chest.
There is no poem for the ache of memories.
There is no poem for the laughter we will no longer share.
There is no poem for a wished-for embrace.
There is no poem for songs we once sang along to in cars.
There is no poem for the sunshine and wind of Warrnambool beaches.
There is no poem for one of my first memories of you.
Dancing around chairs at our home as we eliminated all guests and chairs.
Until there was just Lynd and Tal for the prize.
Your Uncle Mick might have rigged it, shush.
Tal landed the chair and prize.
Instead, there is just a poem whispering grief.
Humming with unspeakable loss.
Wishing, wishing, wishing.
Bright eyed with stinging tears.
Singing a faith no more refrain.
🎶 I’ll see you 🎶
Barb (on behalf of Deb & our fam) September 26, 2024 We miss you Chantal. We are so grateful for the time that we spent together. You fitted perfectly into our family and will always be loved and remembered. ❤️ Rest in peace

We send our sincere condolences to all Channy’s family and friends.

But I know you’ll be there every step of the way to guide us, rest easy my beautiful sister.
We will always love you forever
Jenna September 26, 2024 My beautiful, precious Chantal
How do I navigate life without you, knowing I’ll never see that adorable face again?
I’ll never feel your hugs and kisses.
Never look into those beautiful blue eyes.
Never hear your “screaming Colleen” laugh.
When we laughed about something Gaz had said or done, and you had to hold your nose to stop your laughter so he wouldn’t know you were laughing….
I’ll miss your voice.
I’ll miss your smell.
I’ll miss our talks,
Our daily texts.
I loved you your whole life, and I’ll ache for you for the rest of mine. We will wrap our arms around your two precious gifts to us, Ava and Lilly, and be there for them until we take our last breath. You were so proud of them; they were your greatest achievement in life. You slipped away without any goodbyes. As I sit here on my own, I’m thinking of these three words I’ll never hear you say again:
“LOVE YOU MORE.”
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Belinda Watts September 25, 2024 My dear Chantal

Patrick Cowley September 24, 2024 Chan,
Our friendship was one of total love and respect for one another. Mutual admiration.
The sadness is real.
Although we hadn’t seen each other much since I left, the odd messenger text about each others lives was always a beautiful reminder of how much we just clicked!
You had shown me love and support over these past few years and I had done the same for you most recently.
I will always cherish the connection we had, they can be rare in life.
I will try to run for you until I’m old and grey, another subject we would often talk about.
Sending so much love to your beautiful girls who you just adored so much.
Much love always
Chan xx 💔 xx
