  4. To dearest Brenda, Bernie, Matt & Barry,

    Thinking of you in the loss of your beautiful mum/grannie. You cared for & loved her so well, something she would often tell me how much she appreciated her family. It was a joy to care for her before she went into Barongarook Gardens, we would often reminisce about our Heywood days & the people & places we knew, including my parents. May all your treasured memories help you going forward without her. Sending you all warm love ❤️ & big hugs 🤗

  8. Such a beautiful lady
    Will miss chatting to Woody😢
    Valda was always so grateful for what you did for her
    Would walk into her room and say”good morning Valda how are you today?”. Her reply would be”sitting here getting older”. Such a great sense of humour-a absolute darling
