Mom, I know it's real but I can't believe it's true. Our relationship knew no bounds. I was always proud to be daughter and I have no regrets about anything. I will sleep soundly knowing we were the best for each other. This last ten months you suffered greatly and your rest is well deserved. You taught me so much about life except how to live without you. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. I will love you until my last breath. I love you Shorty, Jojo.
Goodbye, my wonderful aunt and great friend – I'll always cherish the great memories of you while I grew up on Portsea Street. Rest well, and say hello to all you're now with. God Bless.
Life has a way of twisting and turning to make you reflex on what matters. Rest In Peace Aunt Joanne you were a shining star and my mother loved you as we do too. You were always doing for your family and you had a heart of gold for all of your children, grand children and great grand children. Your daughter Josephine was your best friend and partner. She loved you more than anyone could ever imagine. Your family will miss you so much.

With tears in my eyes and a broken heart, I will not say goodbye, I will just say so long until we meet again. You were truly a ray of sunshine in a sometimes not-so-bright world; and I will never forget how you always had words of encouragement for me and how you always made me feel special and beautiful, no matter what you were going through. I will miss you always, until that day we meet again. Rest peacefully and have fun with all of those that have gone before you. Although we will all miss you, it is with bittersweet thoughts that we are glad you suffer no more. So, I will say "so long" to my beautiful Auntie Joann.
