CAFFREY - Audrey (Nee Keartland) (Seventh Anniversary, Sept 9, 2023).

My beautiful sister “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever” - Alfred Tennyson. Loved and never forgotten. Anne and family.

MADDEN - Ellie is lovingly remembered today on her first anniversary by her husband Liam, Neil, Sarah, Trudi, Anthony, 5 grand children and extended family. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation and thanks to everyone for their empathy, kindness and priceless support throughout the past year. Our sincere thanks to all the staff in Saint Vincent’s Private Hospital for the great care shown to Ellie in the last 3 months of her final journey. We thank those who attended the funeral home and the funeral Mass. We are also most grateful for those who sent Mass cards, letters of condolences, online condolences, shared their memories and affection for Ellie - they meant so much to us. We are deeply appreciative to the Very Reverend Fr Tom Nash who celebrated the funeral mass. As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, this acknowledgement is a token of our deepest appreciation. Mass has been offered for your intentions.

“Never forgotten, forever missed“
