🌷 Lauren gave a flower Liefe Oma, Het zou leuk geweest zijn, als ik u vandaag persoonlijk gefeliciteerd met uw 92 verjaardag zou hebben. Maar je bent nu in vrede. We alle missen je and hou van je. Gefeliciteerd, Oma. Sorry als mijn Nederlands verschrikkelijk is! Lauren xoxo Dear Oma, It would have been nice to say Happy Birthday in per...more

Mum it would have been your 92nd birthday today and I'm missing you more than ever. I would have driven to The Marion this morning for a kopje koffie with you, sitting in the sun in the garden while you tan your legs. I hope you and Elvis Presley will enjoy a song or two and know we are thinking of you. Always in my heart. El ❤️ xxxxx

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Happy 92nd Birthday Mum. Elly xxxxx

If you were with us today Oma, we'd be celebrating your birthday with a glass of wine I'm sure. You'd cover your meal with WAY too much salt, drink your wine like it's water and say... it's bloody marvellous! Cheers Oma! Love you. Thinking of you. Happy birthday x

Happy Birthday, Mum! I've been thinking about you all day as you share a birthday with my sister in law, Diane Brucks McDonald and of course, Elvis Presley. You never let us forget about that one. I pray you're at peace and enjoying your rest. All my love always, Beeb.

Dear Elisabeth, Here we are at our mutual birthday time of the year. You, me and Elvis. I wish you a spectacular birthday in Heaven. If you remember, I celebrate all month... so I hope you are still celebrating too. Much love to you always. You will forever be my birthday pal. Diane

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Mum, you always liked roses and Mothers Day is a good excuse to send you one. Wish I could see your face El xxxx

Bep, a long lost friend. We planned to emigrate together, but we (Hetty and Frans with our two children George and Frances) cancelled 6 months before departure. Contact got lost along the way. So sorry to hear Gerard died already in 2000 and now Bep in 2015. Remember them with such fondness, we had great times with lots of laughter. Now I am 90 mys...more

🕯 Elly Kennedy lit a candle One year ago Beeb and I were in Sydney, with Stewart, with Lauren who had flown in from Melbourne, with Louise who had travelled from London, with Andrew & Pat up from Adelaide, and with a group of close Sydney friends and work colleagues. We collected in a small Chapel nearby The Marion where Mum had been in care for ...more

🌷 Beeb Birtles gave a flower You would have been 93 today, Mum. Happy Birthday to you in heaven. You are always still on my heart and mind. I'm so grateful for the mother you were to me and how I was raised with good morals and values. I hope I have instilled those things in my own children. And so on this day I will raise a glass to your life an...more

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Mum, today would have been your 93rd birthday. I woke early and thought about you again. It is 5.15am and the trees across the road look very serene. I remember how mesmerised you were by the beauty of a tree. I wonder if you can still enjoy them now. It's kind of weird "speaking" to you via this memorial on HeavenA...more

🕯 Elly Kennedy lit a candle Mum its 2nd December 2017, two years now since you left us and I still well with tears when I write here. One month shy of 92 is not a bad number of years on earth, I wish Dad had done better than his 77 years. It's the last decade of your life that stays in my mind, the decline of your independence as Dementia crep...more

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Mum, Happy Birthday on what would have been your 94th. Missing you. And remembering you. Yesterday would have been the 70th anniversary of your and Dad's marriage too. But all these 'would haves' are not the same as having you both here. So be peaceful and content in Heaven and know we are thinking of you. Love you, ...more

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower H Happy Mother’s Day Mum. 2018 marks the 3rd mother’s day without you, so it’s a memory I’ll share instead. Living interstate and overseas from you made it difficult to enjoy a day like this together. But something I know you always looked out for was a card from Beeb. And he always remembered even though the Austral...more

🕯 Elly Kennedy lit a candle Mum, 2nd December 2018 and it’s the third anniversary since you passed away at The Marion in Leichhardt. Your relocation from the Gold Coast to Sydney in February 2012 was necessitated by your health and wellbeing being compromised by your Diabetes and Dementia. My regular Queensland visits and the care that The Dom...more

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Mum. Today, your birthday, makes the fourth birthday we haven’t had you with us. You would have been 95. Your ashes are still with me. Some I scattered on the Gold Coast - at The Domain’s little bus stop near your Magnolia Close unit, where you used to wave me goodbye when the airport transport van picked me up for ...more

Hi Mum, thinking of you on the 4th year you left this earth. I think of you often and keep a photo of you and Dad on my chest of drawers as a reminder of the great life you gave me. I pray you're at peace, waiting for that day when Jesus returns to take us all home. You will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I love you very much. Your so...more

🕯 Elly Kennedy lit a candle Mum, I can’t believe it’s been four years today since I received that awful call at 3am from The Marion night nurse to tell me you had passed away. It had been a rough 3 weeks but it was still a shock to hear this. On 30 October you’d had a stroke which left you paralysed on your left side, bedridden, and you could no...more

🌷 Beeb Birtles gave a flower My dear Mum, remembering you on what would have been your 95th birthday. I think about you often with fond memories of my growing up years in Adelaide. Two days after your birthday Louise and Hayden are getting married in Wellington, New Zealand. Yes, life goes on, but you will be forever in our hearts. Happy Birthday...more

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Hi Mum. It’s not hard to imagine you on what would have been your 96th birthday today. You always looked good, younger for your age. You were always amazed yourself at the number of years you had accomplished. We miss seeing you on days like this even though they weren’t big celebrations, your birthdays were always an...more

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Dear Mum. Today, 2nd December, is another anniversary of the day you passed away at The Marion aged care facility in Leichhardt Sydney. I have been dreaming about you, the mother you were to Beeb and I, the Oma you were for your 4 grand-daughters. Soon I will be an Oma too, as your youngest grand-daughter Louise is e...more

Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this day, the fifth year you departed this earth. You are still in our hearts and minds, and we think about you often. God's peace and calm rest on you. With love from Beeb.

Happy Birthday to you in heaven, Mum. You are never forgotten, and we miss you being here with us. R.I.P.

🌷 Elly Kennedy gave a flower Happy Birthday Mum, today would have been your 97th. As we put 2020 behind us I’m glad you weren’t around for that pandemic year, it’s been tough for the elderly and the confusion you would have suffered in aged care lockdowns would have been too much. Nonetheless I miss you and think of different experiences in you...more
