Dear Tanya,
Sending our love and sincere condolences to you and your beautiful family. Take comfort in knowing you were there for all the little and big moments with your Mum, so many wonderful memories to cherish. Forever with you and now reunited with Dad.June 25, 2026 8:59 am
Well what can I say, a piller in my life that helped shape who I am.
From our trips to geelong for my ear operations as a young boy who felt scared. Teaching me to read, speak later on due to not being able to hear.
Giving us the attitude that we can do and be anything, try all sports until we found out place.
A household where everyone is equal, to respect
Others and help others whenever we can.
Spoilt with holidays and fantastic memories.
Prevlidged to experience Mum's outgoing nature, taking on things and owning it.
Teaching so many people, rarely would Mum give insight of her students but when she did it was something special.
Her love of art, Sorry Mum but I am going to bring out your best work and show the world! I know you don't want it out but I'm super proud!
I should of followed your rules and wrote this down many times as I will have forgotten so much.
Your united with Dad now and you will live on in our stories.
Thank youJune 24, 2026 10:02 pm

The most beautiful and lovely auntie, the most gentle, kind, generous and joyful woman.. her artwork touched our hearts leaving us lovingly awestruck; her hospitality and warmth were saintly, consoling, comforting, a problem shared was a problem solved.. a sparkling smile, a radiant sense of humour, a refuge in life’s storms.. we already miss her cuddles, her warm cups of tea and the hearts to hearts we always had.. an encourager, a supporter, a believer in you.. a woman of faith who shined her faithful light so that others may love, learn and walk with her joining in and sharing in her joy, a compassionate heart caring and helping all, we miss you dearest auntie and love you always.. thank you for your gentle guidance, loving support, and creating a space where we could always come to you with open hearts and know we were safe, loved and cared for in your presence and light.. loved always, never forgotten, we miss you already.. may God bless you always, Emily and Michael
