Maria we were Blessed to Share almost 57 years of Beautiful Friendship together. Starting at St Anthonys School in grade one together. Then having ten more yrs of Wonderful School memories at St Josephs School and walking home from School together many a time and the lovely chats along the way. Going to Nicolettas place after School turning the Radio on and us all laughing and having dancing Competitions in high school. Being in the Same hockey Team. Visiting each others homes to catch up. Catching up when you were home in Perth and at Class Reunions. Visiting and Staying with me the last time you were home in Perth and Staying with me for Several days, were Magical and Special by having you here. The many, many phone calls we had, letters and face times over the years. I was so Blessed to have you as my Friend. You were more like a sister to me than a Friend with us telling each other that many times. I loved the way we could talk about anything and everything and being our Authentic Selves in Support in hard times and good times. You were so kind ,caring and loving and had so much Humanity for others in your life time and especially putting people first before yourself. You Truly Were an Inspiration to all who knew you. You were an Earth Angel and I am so proud you were my Friend. Thank you for keeping our Promise it was Special . We both Said Bye not long before you passed, but its not forever. Until we meet again on the other side I will Always Remember you and keep our memories close to my heart. I love you my Special friend.
A beautiful Service for a Beautiful Soul.
My deepest Condolences to Quinton, Courtney, Scott, Paz, Dave, families and friends.

Dear Maria was a rare gem. I Was here today at the service which was a really lovely tribute for someone so very special.. She was such an amazing woman in so many way. I was truly inspired by the beautiful words spoken and shared from her brother Baz, son Scott and her partner David who said she was his rock. I heard this once and it has stayed in my mind. What do you think happens when we die. And the response was I know that the ones that love us will miss us. Goodbye Maria, thanks for the memories. xx Margaret.
Fly High Aunty Maria!
Say hi to Nonna & Pop for us.

Beautiful service for a beautiful woman. I was fortunate to meet Maria through a friend (Shirley) and it’s true what they say about feeling like one already knew her. Such a beautiful, genuine soul that had such a positive calmness about her. Truly blessed to have met Maria and will be thinking of her family and loved ones during this difficult time. Xoxox
Beautiful service for lovely lady ♥️ our deepest Condolences to Quinton and his family. Regards the Denbesten Family xx
Beautiful Maria, rest in peace. What a lovely service your family gave you. I will never forget you and I will hold in my heart the memory of the last time we met in Melbourne together. How you took a 3 hour round trip to come to meet Lisa and I in the city for a cup tea and cake. It was so good to hear that you found happiness in the best years of your life because you deserved it. Lots of love Olga (Lisa’s sister)
