Precious Mother

Ann Saliba Jan 19, 2012

You were a precious gift from God above, so much beauty, grace & love.
You touched our hearts in so many ways, your smile so bright it lit the darkest of days.
You heard Gods whisper calling your home, you didn't want to go & leave us alone.
You loved us so much, you held on tight till all the strength was gone & you could no longer fight.
He called your name many times before but knew you couldn't make him wait anymore.
So you gave your hand to God & slowly drifted away, knowing with all our love we will be together some day.

Love always your daughter Ann xxoo

Beautiful Mum First Anniversary

Ann Saliba Jan 19, 2012

It seemed like yesterday God called for you & you went without hesitation to a better place, where all your pain & suffering had stopped. One year on our pain & suffering continues over your loss.

On your first anniversary there have been many firsts, Easter, mothers day, birthday & Christmas, all of which were empty & meaningless without you.

I miss your touch, your smell, your advice, your friendship, your hugs, your tears, your pain, your beautiful smile, your laughter, your talks, your wisdom, your beautiful cooking, your love, but most off all I miss you mum.

I am sorry I didn't express what you meant to me. For all the things that were left unsaid, and especially the pain that you carried.

I can't wait until we meet again so I can wrap my arms around you, give you a kiss & tell you how much I love you my angelic mother Betty

Always in my heart daughter Ann xxoo

Love never dies

Ann Saliba Jan 14, 2012

A day doesn't go by when I don't think of you, I wish I could hold you, tell you how much I love you & how extremely luckly I am to have had such a wonderful mother .I can only hope to be half as good a mother as you were, with all the sacrifices you made to give us a better life. You will forever live in my heart. Love & God Bless your daughter Ann xxoo

One Year On

Christine Jan 11, 2012

You have been dearly missed Mum in this past year, at times still like a dream. I wish you were here to see your eldest child turn 50 and eldest grandchild 18, we missed you at Easter, Mothers Day, your Birthday, Christmas and everyday. I would have loved to fuss over you to celebrate your 60 years in Australia in March 2011, and to recognise 53 years of Marriage in April 2011.

You left behind broken hearts and a void too big to fill, as I look around our home there is a reminder of you everywhere, things you made or bought and things given to you as gifts. I miss the food you cooked with love, some only at certain times of the year for festivities or as a treat, it feels so odd to set the table for two instead of three.

There has been much support of relatives and friends, many a wonderful word about you, "kind, thoughtful and generous people are never forgotten" was one messages I received.

The physical separation is painful for I can no longer see, kiss or hug you, but feel your presence and light a candle for you each night and ask that you will continue to be my Guardian Angel.

May your name remain on the lips and in the hearts of those who knew and loved you. You will always be the piece missing from me, I will always love and miss you and deep in my heart is where forever you will be.
