  2. “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.”

    Mum, we have always felt your endless love in your warmth, kindness, strength, and comfort – as a mother, Nana, mentor, supporter and dear friend.

    In the hearts of all who loved you, you will forever remain. You will be treasured always and held close in our memories.

    We will carry the love and comfort you gave us throughout our lives, for it was planted deeply and will never fade.

    Your presence we will miss, your memory we will cherish — loving you always, forgetting you never.

    Admired by so many for your dedication, loyalty and commitment to others- this is not goodbye…..your generous spirit will live on in all of us.

    You closed your eyes with one final tear, ready to rest. I will be forever grateful that I was by your side.

    It was a privilege to care for and love you sweet Mum. May your soul rest peacefully. We know you gave your very best.

    Now stretch your wings and fly.
    Mahli will be there to meet you.
    Hold her in your arms- you are free🕊️🩶🤍💫

    Forever loved,

    What an honour it was to have you as my Nan.
    Thank you for the stories, the laughter, and the love and support you always showed.
    You weren’t just my Nan — you were my safe place and my hero.
    I loved sharing jokes with you, and most of all, simply spending time together.

    Thank you for all the cuddles in your chair while we watched movies,
    for the tickles, the stories, and the chocolate we shared.
    These memories will stay with me forever.

    Love you always,

    “To the light that guided me,
    ​As I stand where the ancient rainforest meets the dark, mirrored waters, I bring you here with me. I see your warmth in the sunlight and your steady strength in the quiet peaks.
    ​Mum, you were the rock I leaned on and the haven where I always found peace. Looking at the reflections, I am reminded that you are still reflected in me—in my kindness, my resilience, and my love for this beautiful world.
    ​As I journey through this wild place, let the stillness of the Rivers settle our hearts. I release my sorrow into these deep waters and keep only the love.
    Thank you for being my world.
    ​Rest in the beauty of this place, and in the eternal home of my heart.
    ​Amen.”
    Love you Forever more Stef
