Mum I have soooooo many memories of you supporting me in various sport - netball, soccer, badminton and then there were the various escapades we got up to when the boys were away at scouts (going to Love Story the movie at Mt Albert tops the list) I can credit you for having the career I have and so many other directions of my life Years pass with memories with grandchildren and great grandies are created and treasured. I will miss our sleepovers and time spent together over more recent times. Sleep tight Mum xxxxx

Thank you for welcoming me with such open arms into your lovely family. I wish I had had the chance to get to know you better, but I will cherish the memories of our chats over the last 8 months about all sorts of things. Much love to all ❤️

To Grandma, This is a poem I wrote to read out tomorrow about my memories of us together, thank you for everything you did for me , I love you Sarah xx Grandmas Poem. By Sarah You’d pick me up from Kindy, And we’d laugh and play, The dinosaur game we’d make up, In our own special way. No rules, no boundaries, Just imagination to guide, In games and giggles we were free, With you always by my side. Your house was warm with love and light, Where afternoon tea with shortbread felt just right. You always tried the things I’d bake. Each slice a smile, every bite you take You cheered at every soccer game, And watched every school performance, Your love and pride so clear to see, In every single instance. At prizegiving’s you’d smile so wide, You’d say I can’t wait to see, The person you’ll become one day, And I know your proud of me. The baking you loved, you’d always say, It’s a gift I’ve carried on, And now I’m studying pastry, To make you proud when you’re gone. I wish you could see me now, To watch my dreams, unfold, But in my heart, I feel you near Your love will never grow old. Though you can’t be here to see, I’ll carry you always, deep in me With flour dusted hands and heart full of grace, I’ll honour you in every place. In every step I take, you’ll be, Forever a part of me.

Mum When I married Mark, I married the boy you raised into an incredible man. You welcomed me into the Whitefield family with open arms and an open heart. You have always made me feel a part of the family and you treated me as one of your own. You have been there for me through sad times, hard times and fun times, always helping when Joshua and Sarah were younger, and you have been a big part of my life. Thank you for being my second mum. I can never repay the love you have shown me. I will miss you everyday. Susan

Hey Mum Was lovely to see you today ...you look beautiful. I wont say much here as I'll be having a talk about 'us' on Wednesday. I love you so much & miss you already. John. P.S Say "Hi" to Dad and give him a hug from us all.

Mum, Thank you for being my Mum. You gave so much of yourself so I could grow, dream, and become who I am. You were my first friend, my best teacher, and my greatest supporter. Even when life wasn't easy, you carried on with grace and courage, never asking for much in return. You gave your all, every single day. For all the meals, the hugs, the sleepless nights, the words of wisdom and support, I truly thank you. This is for you, Mum. For all you were, all you are, and all you’ll always be to me. I will miss you. Mark
