Goodbye to my sweetheart Glennie, love John

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills harder to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And said, “peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day god called you home.

– Damian, Carolyn, Abbey, Jack, Ben

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.

Loved Mum of Robert and Janine. Loving Nan to Maggie. Aaron, Taylah and Shelbie.

Loved and adored mum and mother in law of Bec and Dig cherished nanny Glen to Marli and Lottie.

A remarkable Lady now at rest with the angels.

Another star in heaven. We love you and we will miss you Glennie. May you Rest In Peace.

I can’t repay the lessons
That you taught when I was small,
Or give you, gift for gift,
The daily treasures I recall.
I can’t return encouragement
Or loving words of praise,
In quite the way you did for me
Through all my childhood days.
But there’s one gift that I can give,
It’s all the love you’ve earned.
For love is what you always taught,
And love is what I learned.

Much loved Mum of Steve and Nell

Adored Nanny Glennie to Sam and Alexandra, Mac and Derm

To have a mum & Nanny as special as you

You had a smile for everyone,
You had a heart of gold,
You left behind the memories

Mum, I will always cherish the last few days you stayed with us. You fought and fought with all your strength, your tender warmth and love was right there to the end.

No longer in our lives to share but in our hearts you will always be there.
