You are my mum, a gift which can never be taken away.
I loved you yesterday and today.
I will love you tomorrow and forever

Sending my deepest condolences to Sian and all the family. Your mum was one of the most caring, loving and gentle women I have ever met. May she join your dad and other loved ones in heaven and watch over you all. Lots of love Mary Taranto (Filomeno)❤️

Grandma, G’ma, Farm Grandma, mum,

Such a privilege being your granddaughter, I am forever grateful for all the time that we had together. You had a way of making all of us feel like we were your favourite, I will cherish the memories of our in depth conversations, our shopping day’s, our love of the same shows and books, cooking and your amazing knowledge of gardening, your love of animal’s and how much you loved walking around your farm in Mount eccles.

I know you will be reunited with all of your favourite people.
Until we meet again,

Love you forever,
Michelle xxxxx

My dearest Nan,

Thank you for all the years of love, kindness and making me feel so loved and special. I’m thankful for the countless memories I have with you and will always treasure my sleepovers at the farm, just you and I.

I love you beyond words and I’ll miss you greatly.

Rest in peace nana. I’ve heard lots about you and seem some wonderful photos of you with your grand children and great grant children. Sending love to everyone. You’ll be forever missed and never forgotten.

A loved one is like a treasure of the heart.
To lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself.
But the love this person bought you did not leave for the essence of the soul lingers,
It cannot escape your heart for it has been there forever.
Reunited wirh your baby John, Dad, your beautiful Kate, my gorgeous Chris, your parents and brothers before you.
Sleep peacefully Mum, forever ours Margie, Bob, Lauren, Owen, Meg, Travis, Taya, Ryder and Annikin xo

Remembering a wonderful little lady who was an inspiration to her family and all who met her. Rest peacefully Mary, you have earned it.

A beautiful lady who loved a joke. I will miss our chats. Rest easy Mary.

A wonderful little lady who was an inspiration to her family and those who met her. A life well lived and a rest well earned.

To Sian & family Sorry to hear of your Mum passing our thoughts and Condolences are with you. From Holt family

She is not gone, she simply left the room.
She is walking the rolling, green hills, faithful pups by her side.
She is in her garden, tending the plants, cultivated by her own two hands.
She is embracing her children and those who took the path before her.
Whilst, in her house, others impart her wisdom, etched within their hearts and minds.
Sharing wonderful memories, with those who lovingly speak her name.
No, she has not gone, she left her legacy and quietly closed the door.
We will miss you Mum, today, tomorrow and forever and love you always.
Reunited with Dad, John, Chris, Kate and your beloved family
Sian and Clint, Caitlyn, Trent and Chase, Michael, Louise and Ben, Hannah and Emily

Grandma, I have so many memories of time together which I cherish. Your wisdom, kindness and care for others has left a lasting impact on me. I will always miss you.

Grandma, when I think of you, I think of pumpkins, shortbread, Bambi, blue tiles and milk stools. I think of your quick wit, your smile, and the love, admiration, and genuine interest in your entire family. You spoke about us all with such pride. I will remember your “Oh! Yes, yes…”, the way you bossed us all around so you could take care of us, and the warm smile on your face whenever we popped by to visit. I will miss you – I already do. Until we meet again. ❤️

Thank you Mary for all your love and wisdom over all the years caring for you at Alchera House, you are the true definition of a wonder woman.

Love Megan, Riley, Charlie and Holly

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die “
You will be remembered for so many things and we will keep you close by talking about you mum. Rest peacefully
Love Tee, Dennis, Matthew, Lauren, Eliot, Naomi, Dan, Cass, David, Mikayla, Mark, Susan, Ruby and Harry. ❤️

Mum I have no words for the sorrow I feel at this moment. When I saw you Sunday I knew that I’d need to be prepared.
You were the most inspirational person ever. I will love and miss you so much.
Rest peacefully with your baby, John, your beloved daughter Kate, Dad, Chris, your family that has gone before.
Whenever I heard thunder now that will be your laughter. The rain will be you helping Mother Nature.
Love you always and forever.
Your eldest girl Anne and her side-kick Tony ❤️❤️

thoughts are with you all at this sad time from Elaine and Jordan

“Mama never forgets her birds, Though in another tree –
She looks down just as often And just as tenderly
As when her little mortal nest – With cunning care she wove
If either of her sparrows fall,
She notices, above.” – Emily Dickinson.

While you may not be here to see us, your spirit lives on in the legacy that is our family. Glad you’re finally at peace now grandma and may you feel at home in Grandad, Aunty Kate and Chris’ arms.

Rest in peace dear Mum In Law. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your life Loved and remembered always.

Aunty Mary, such happy memories of staying with you, Uncle Bert and my cousins on the farm. Running free but treating those sentinel geese with a healthy respect!

What a wonderful tapestry of family has evolved from a couple beginning their journey those many years ago.

A final cup of tea; tme to rest.

Maryanne

To all Mary’s family and friends. We sincerely express our deepest sympathies for the passing of Mary.
Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
The world has lost a great one.

From the Geary family’s

“Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”
Winnie-the-Pooh was talking about you Mary.
I will miss our in-depth chats over tea and Vegemite toast. As we discussed Mary, I will plant the courtyard broad beans on my return from Italy.
Sleep well and God bless.
Tootalpip Mary. ❤️
Phillip.

Dear Farm Grandma,
I can hardly believe after all these years you’re gone. But I am certain that somewhere in the next world you are happily reunited with your parents, and the rest of the family who have gone before us. Your influence on my life cannot be overstated. You are part of many of my earliest and most formative memories, you guided many of my deepest-held values, and your legacy will live on in your many descendants. I will treasure the memory of the many seemingly mundane times together – mass on Sundays, working on the farm on Saturdays, the times you popped into school, the home made bread and veggie soups, and chats about books and British comedy on the tv.
I will remember you and miss you.
With love from Fiona, Matthew, Isaac and Natalia xox

My Condolences to all my Gippsland Cousins. What a wonderful life led and an everlasting legacy remains. My Aunty Mary will be remembered well. Rest in peace.

My grandma,

I miss those days at the farm where you had to put up with Hannah and my cheekiness, exploring the farm and trying to climb those gigantic haystacks, with you beside me.

I miss your compassion, your love, kindness and support. I will also especially miss my “yo emily” on my birthday cards, the running joke will never be forgotten.

We will meet again, I love you

So many beautiful tributes to a special lady, sincere condolences to Sian and all family members.

Dear Sian & the Pickersgill family, my sincere condolences to all. Wishing you all comfort and peace during this most difficult time. With love Mandii ❤️ (Filomeno)

My beautiful Mum.
I can’t express the heartache I am feeling at your passing, but found these verses.
So when ache comes creeping in,
And silence feels too loud,
Smile for me in sunshine,
Don’t let grief be your shroud.
Miss me yes, but let me fly,
Love lives on, it doesn’t die.
Missing you my beloved Mum, now and forever.
Until we meet again.

Mary I’m so sorry to hear of your passing. Coming into work with a grin on your face made me light up every time. After a cuddle, your cheekiness, quick wit and stories made me laugh everytime. Heaven has definitely gained another angel. I’ll miss seeing you Mary, you beautiful special lady. Condolences to all her family xxxx

What a beautiful and amazing lady. It was a pleasure to care for you whilst a resident in Alchera House.
My nightshifts will never be the same again without you there.
When coming back on duty I would ask if you had a good day and you would reply with a twinkle in your eye and a smile “a little bit naughty” then add with a giggle “can’t always be good”
I will miss baking treats for you, Barb and the children.
You are a special lady and will never be forgotten

Love Sharyn

The pope passed on the same day because he knew he had to hold open the pearly gates for your arrival. I’ll forever be proud to have been a part of this family you created. It’s times like these that make being so far from home so difficult. I wish I could be there to share the day with you all remembering our beloved matriarch. Goodbye Mum ♥️
