Oh dearest Sally - Verna's wonderful and beloved daughter, we are so deeply sorry that you're farewelling your wonderful Mother so soon after your Father's passing. But ever-wise and loving Verna must have known the natural order was for her to join her beloved Murray to dance freely in the stars. Our deepest sympathy and love flows to you, Ed, Nick and Novak.
Much love, xxx Lyn and Angela

A peaceful, graceful and beautiful person and the best Mum anyone could wish for. Mum, you were so loving and so loved. A devoted wife for our dear Dad for more than 70 years. We will remember you forever as a kind, caring and gentle presence in our lives and a wonderful Mama to Nikolai and Novak. May you dance with Dad to the moon and play among the stars. Forever loved, Sally and Ed.
GASTON (Verna):
Dearest Mama, your passing saddens us deeply but we know you will be in a better place. Cherished are the memories of pikelets after school and scones at weekend morning teas; the special excitement of Christmas morning knowing we would share our day with you and Papa. Most importantly we are grateful for you being ever present in our lives. Mama, may you rest peacefully with Papa.
Love and light, Nikolai and Novak

GASTON (Verna):
Slipped away gently while I was holding her hand. My darling Mum you gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, dressed me, fought for me, held me, kissed me but most importantly loved me unconditionally.
I cannot begin to express how important you were to me. You were such a sweet, gentle soul who will be lovingly remembered forever more. So many beautiful memories will live on in my heart. Missing you so much already.
I love you, Barbara xx
