“My mother was an inspiring soul, always there for all who came to her with their troubles.
” Her home was open to everyone, and her hospitality made them feel important.
“She was the most loving, humble, compassionate, understanding, family-orientated woman and one of the most beautiful souls one could ever meet.
“Mum, it’s been three years that you have gone to meet with your creator, we all miss you so much, dear mum.
“You were precious, a gift from God, with so much beauty, grace, love and patience you possessed.
” You touched our hearts in so many ways. Even on dark days, your strength and smile made us realize we had an angel beside us.”
“Dear mum, on behalf of myself, my siblings, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren, continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
