MADDEN, Shona Marie (nee Hawke)
My dear Mum is now resting in peace after a "relentless effort" over the past 18 months. She was loved dearly by her "Favourite son-in-law" Darren Brown, who will miss his "Favourite Bluff Mum" a lot. And always love and respect from grandson Robert, great-granddaughter Nirvana, and great-grandsons Drake and Cade (who dedicated their basketball games to great-Nan on the 25th). Thanks must go to the nurses and staff at Calvary; they are the best. The laughter, hugs, cups of tea, "hand-made ice cream", professionalism, care and compassion meant the world to me and to Mum.
Mum, I love you
Always have, Always will
Rest now
