ALLEN (Palmer) - Valerie (Val)
2/4/1933 - 30/09/2024
A warm embrace,
A hand to hold,
A pure Heart that touched our soul,
Your love & guidance ran so deep,
Now treasured memories of a bond we keep,
Mum, we weren’t ready to say goodbye,
But you were too tired to stay,
So it’s time to let you go,
But we will remember you each day,
Rest easy now back in Dads loving arms.
With all our love from your children, Julie & Wayne
And your loved son & daughter in law, Russell & Jenny

​
To Our Beautiful Grandma and Great Grandma,
You may have grown your angel wings,
But you will live on with us in our hearts forever.
Our lives will not be the same without you,
But we are so privileged to have had you on it.
We had such a special bond, and I will miss
The times we shared together.
You loved everyone and touched so many
people’s hearts with your kindness & generosity.
You were Grandma to all that knew you, young & old.
And your family & friends meant the world to you.
You can now rest peacefully with Grandpa.
Love Caz, Andrew, Georgia, Maddi & Elli.
​
Grandma,
The words you spoke so wisely,
Have never been so clear.
All the lessons you taught me,
Still remain right here.
I am left here wishing,
To hear your voice again,
Once more to hear you sing,
That I am your sunshine.
You told me it would be alright,
But I feel this isn’t true.
The only thing to make this better,
Is if I was there with you.
I know this isn’t possible,
I know your now, not at peace,
But I hated to see you go.
My sunshine was taken.
Now my skies are grey.
The things I would give,
Just for one more day.
You were more than just my Grandma,
You were my lifelong friend.
My life has changed forever,
But Ill love you till the end.
Rest easy Grandma.
Reunited with Grandpa.
Our Guardian angel.
Love always, Nicki & Jason xxoo
“You are my Sunshine”
There was a magic in Grandmas touch,
And a sunshine in her smile.
There was love in everything she did,
To make our lives worthwhile.
You will be truly missed.
Love you always,
Shakira & Ashton xoxoxo
​
What a Beautiful Grandma you were,
Always the “life of the party”
Loved by so many
I’m so grateful that you were my Grandma
You have filled my life with so much love and ‘so many happy memories,
Now our angel in heaven, looking down on us.
Time to rest now.
Love you forever, Em & Leigh
It was nice to be able to say Goodbye to you
I hope Heaven treats you well.
Love Keirly
I loved my Grandma,
She was smiley & sweet,
She gave me big cuddles
And sometimes a treat,
She was one of a kind,
The nicest by far.
Im glad she was my Grandma,
She’s my shining star.
Love Tayla Higgs
​
Family was the heart of you,
A love so deep & true.
With gentle strength you led the way,
Loving us unconditionally every day.
You never judged,
But your advice would flow.
One of your many qualities,
I will struggle to let go.
Your final chapter closes,
But your legacy remains.
Softly written in our hearts,
Your memory never fades.
You lived life to the full,
That was never a doubt.
You were the life of the party,
Always messing about.
Your body grew tired,
But your mind still there.
We watched you grow older,
It didn’t seem fair.
In your final days, the room was full of
Love and family as you wished.
As we wrapped our arms around you Grandma
And whispered, you’ll be missed.
It’s time to rest now, we will always love you.
Your Loving Granddaughter, Catherine.
Grandma, we remember our sleepovers,
Our walks to your neighbours,
Playing in your garden and
All your funny stories.
We will miss you.
Love from your Great Grandchildren,
Xander & Zac.
