  9. I will always remember days spent on the farm as a child. The family
    dinners, playing outside, the warm and welcoming feeling of your home Aunty Charmaine, and you enjoying the cricket.
    You were a strong woman who always worked hard and you fought hard to stay with those you loved so dearly. Rest in Peace.

  13. Charmaine, you have been a huge part of my life for 17 years, almost half my life! How lucky I am to have known such a strong, kind, caring and selfless woman! You were so much more to me than my mother in law, a beautiful friend and someone I admired. You always made me feel welcome and a part of your family and now I have become part of the furniture. The kids always loved going to Nanna and Pa’s and were excited to see what Nanna would have for them each time. Brooklyn loved raiding your cupboards and coming home with a new toy from nannas. Kyrie was always excited to play with the cars. Emersyn is too little to understand but I will make sure she knows and remembers who nanna was. We’ll make sure the fish get fed, they won’t go hungry with my kids around. I’ll take good care of Anthony. We love you so much and will miss you forever. Finally at peace, rest easy.
