MaryDaphne Sotgiu (3 Nov 1938 - 3 Oct 2017)

Rest in peace Daphne. I will never forget the times spent talking to you about life and the ways of the world. You always gave the best advice and were so kind and caring. Thank you all your unconditional support. I will miss you dearly. I lit a candle in your memory on the other side of the world. All my love, Rebecca

All our love Lee, Karen, and families

A te mia dolce Suocera (Daffo), alla fortuna di averTi conosciuta.
Per me sei stata una persona importante e speciale. Mi mancheranno le tue risate, i nostri dialoghi inglese-italiano quasi incomprensibili ma talmente belli che ci rendevano felici.
Buon viaggio a dove gli Angeli Ti stanno aspettando per aprirTi le porte del Paradiso.

To my sweet Mother-in-law (Daffo). Thankful for having known you. You were so important and special to me. I will miss your laughter and our almost incomprehensible ‘Italo-English’ conversations that were such fun.
Have a good journey. The Angels are waiting for you to open up the gates of Heaven.

Ciao Daphne te ne sei andata in silenzio lasciando in ognuno.di noi un vuoto.indelebile. Sei stata una donna meravigliosa e ogni volta che ti incontravo avrei voluto dirti molte cose ma non sapendo la tua lingua cercavo con i miei forti abbracci di trasmetterti quanto cara eri tu per me. La tua eleganza e la tua dolcezza rimarrà x sempre nel mio cuore e se non potrò più abbracciarti i ricordi di te li conservato come un tesoro.
Addio mia cara Daphne

Daphne, you closed your eyes and went quietly, leaving us with a feeling of emptiness. You were a lovely lady. Whenever we met I so much wanted to talk to you, but couldn’t because I don’t speak your language. I tried to convey my fondness for you by hugging you tightly. I will forever keep the memory of your elegance and your sweetness close to my heart and although I won’t be able to hug you anymore, I will treasure the memories I have of you.
Goodbye my dear Daphne.

Mum, your love was immense, the greatest of gifts. Your love lives on. I see you and feel you ever time I look into my siblings' eyes.

Daphne my love, from the moment I first met you I understood you were special.
It didn’t take me long to fall in love with you. We were made for each other and we knew then we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives.
You became my half and I began living.
You gave me the best family I could have hoped for. Sons and daughters to be proud of.
Now I retain the memories that allow me to look back fondly. As ever I need to be with you. You are here with me throughout the day, keeping me company in my moments of solitude.
We are and will be together for ever.

Mum you were and remain our beacon of light, our love ever after. Your kindness and generosity overflowed and your selflessness abounded. You are and will always be our equilibrium, a one in a million, our perfect mum.
