On Friday the 17th of October at 6am, in the comfort of her own home, in Brisbane, surrounded by her family, our darling mum and the queen of our hearts took her final breath. 
It has been our privilege to care for you, feed you, bath you and love you in every way we could—for the woman who did it all for us.
You did so well, mum.
We love you, now until forever.
