Anyone who had the privilege of knowing her will carry her memory with them always. I hope you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and the many lives she touched.

In Loving Memory of Our Aunt Lavena Always remembered with a cup of tea in one hand and a cigarette in the other, laughing with us around the kitchen table. You loved a vodka or Bacardi and coke, and il’llnever forget sitting together, sharing laughs. il’ll always remember your mince and potatoes, your love for my Dad’s cooking especially rice pudding and your beautiful jet-black hair. You always spoke about your children and family, and would do anything for them. Even when you and my mum argued, you’d always laugh it off in the end. You and my mum spent so many years together 20-25 years every day, and you became part of the furniture . Most of all, we’ll remember how you always protected us when we needed it. Forever loved, forever missed. Tara xxx

I’m deeply saddened by the loss of my dear Auntie. She was such a warm, caring, and beautiful soul who brought love and light into every room she entered. Her kindness, laughter, and gentle spirit will always stay with me, and I feel truly blessed to have shared cherished memories with her. Though she is no longer with us, her love will continue to live on in our hearts forever. Rest peacefully, Auntie — you will be dearly missed and always remembered with love.

Mum,  It still doesn’t feel real that you’re no longer with us. I have a setup on my bed side table of you with your pictures, flowers and a candle. Every morning I light the candle and say good morning and leave it burning until it’s time for bed. You’re my first thought in the morning, and my last thought at night.  I miss your loud voice and thick accent, you calling my phone 24/7 telling me to be careful and be safe, asking me to get you milk from the shop, the way you kept the family in contact and so much more. I hope you’re having the best time up there with your parents, John and Frank and that you’re watching over us all.  Love you forever, and miss you always.

I always remember aunty Lavena being caring, and loving she’s always ask us if we wanted to go to the shop with her and she’d get us sweeties, and pop and she always asked if we wanted a tea. Always made me feel welcome, and at ease. I always remember her saying “what about the wanes” she was a very giving person, she always listened and her communication and eye contact were fantastic (her beautiful eyes were captivating) I’m going to miss you aunty Lavena, but I know you’re always with me, lending me your fire and fight to get through life, but most of all learning that I am enough, and just being me is all I need to do. We will miss you and my dad especially so xx

Pari whilst I only met your lovely mum a handful of times she was funny, feisty, caring and most of all she loved you all dearly. I know the pain and loss you feel by her passing feels overwhelming, but just remember that now she has her angel wings, she will watch over you all forever. Lavena take your rest in eternal peace you will never be forgotten.

Aunty Lavena growing up I have countless memories with you and those that I will carry forever. You were always such a loving person and made sure to always offer a cup of tea or juice as soon as we walked into your home. Like how others remember you… you always had a cup of tea and a cigarette lit. I remember coming over and always being entertained by my dad and your conversations as there was always something going on… I remember visiting you in hospital years ago and the lady across from you not letting you have any sleep as she was shouting most of the night… you had us all in stitches while you were cursing her… thank you for all the memories and love… you will be missed forever xx
