Saddened to hear of the passing of Caterina. I have such fond memories of our years of outings and involvement with Caterina during our Do Care days. Caterina was such a kind and gentle lady who was devoted to her family, friends and community.

It was such a privilege to have known Caterina. Such a gentle, kind woman who enjoyed a laugh. Happy memories; firstly with South West Do Care, then Miller House and most recently through Colac Otway Shire. RIP dear Caterina.

To our beautiful Nonna,
We were so lucky to have you in our lives for as long as we did. Thank you for all the beautiful memories we now have and showing us how much you loved each of us. We will cherish our weekend stays in Colac, the many meals you made sure we ate and times we spent together when you visited Melbourne.
We will miss your cheeky jokes, your delicious cooking (chicken brodo, cotoletta, focaccia and the best cream puffs) and will treasure those and the many more memories we have of you in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace, Nonna.

To our dearest Nonna
What a privilege to have you be a part of our lives for so long.
The courage you showed when you travelled to Australia with two young girls by your side and reuniting with your husband (Nonno) here in Australia.
The love you spoiled and showered upon us and our family is something that we will cherish forever. The countless meals you cooked (best roast chicken and potatoes ever) the times spent together on school holidays and the stories you told us.
It fills our heart to know that you are now reunited with Nonno, playing cards and making sure that he doesn’t cheat to win the game. Reunited with your son, Frank. May you watch over us and always keep us safe.
Rest In Peace Nonna, till we meet again.

Mum
I have waited a couple of days to gather my thoughts, if i could talk to you one more time i would want you to know. I am so proud to call you my mum, you were such a loving person to everybody who entered your life, never a bad word spoken about anyone just a beautiful smile and cheeky grin for all. On the passing of dad you lived independently for 25 years, the courage and determination that you showed to become fiercely independent was inspiring. Little trips with your Do care family kept you going and i thank them from the bottom of my heart for giving you the energy to engage with your community. I know my children will miss you so much as you spoiled them like any Nonna would. I love you so much mum and thank you for everything you done for me, i will miss your smiling face and sense of humour but know that you will be in good hands with Dad and Frank.Your loving Son

In memory on my Nonna
“A little tribute true and tender
Just to show that we remember.
Time may pass and fade away
But memories of you will always stay.”I’ll never forget our last coffee we had together, laughing and chatting away.
I’ll always cherish the time my family and I got to spend with you.
Rest In Peace Nonna.

My dear mother-in-law, thank you for always accepting me in your family and treating me like a daughter. My heart is sad that l won't be seeing you again. I will cherish our last visit just before your 90th birthday. I had a vision of you reaching heaven's gates and your husband Luigi and your son Frank were there waiting for you. This bought much peace knowing you are reunited with loved ones and in God's care. I will miss you dearly but will never forget you. Love Vikki
