July 26, 2021Dear Aunty Jill,
July 25, 2021
How I loved you all my life. You were like another mother to me and I always felt so loved by you.
I will miss your cheery welcome, beautiful smile and laugh and hugs whenever we saw each other. I loved to listen to you talk about your family, your gorgeous boys, their partners – your daughters and the grandchildren. The love, the joy, the proud feelings you shared, always positive, always happy and forever remembered.
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life, you helped make me beautiful on my wedding day, I have always loved my wedding dress, made with such love, and making me feel so special on that day. Your skills in dressmaking were inspirational and I love that my mum, my aunt, sister and I shared a love of dressmaking. You made so many girls feel beautiful with all the wedding dresses and deb dresses you made in your lifetime. I was so proud to have you make my table coverings for all the weddings I have performed.
Thank you to Brian for making Jill such a happy woman and to share so many lovely times together socially. I know she loved these years.
Jill, forever in my thoughts, forever in my heart, I will miss you so very much.
All our love, Krista, Linc and Beccy Barnes
