My (our) dear mother Donnese passed peacefully from this life, on Thursday, May 18, 2023 - interestingly "Ascension Day" catholic calendar. Several family members, including grandsons and granddaughters were with you Mum before you departed. So thankful! The outpouring of love from family, carers and nurses was astounding and reflects the respect and love they have for you Mum, and the days/nights you shared with them. Now you have set off on the Journey of your life - sailing with the Captain and Lover of your very soul 'n spirit (heart)! Travel well! Thank you Mum, wife, Nana, great-Nana, auntie, sister, daughter, colleague, carer of so many children (besides your own) for all you gave us; your love, dedication, beauty, time, energy, laughter and play, skills and talents, and even fears, pain, tears, and sheer damned hard work! You taught me dogged determination and helped me to appreciate; family, celebrations, icecream 'n jelly sponge, animals-ducks, trees, flowers, hairstyles 'n stylish clothing, dancing, singing, Catholic Mass (faith), education, our Scottish ancestry, tartan, bagpipes and so much more!!! Sometimes I didn't understand you, nor you, me, still I love you and appreciate you, as my heart believes you loved us all deeply! You are missed and mourned by your husband of many years, Lindsay Charles Barron, your sons and daughters - the late Lindsay D.J. (husband of Diane), Donlyn, Sonyia, Fiona, Charles (Katyoun), Andrew (Marama) and Deborah F, and their own families and children. I honour and acknowledge you my dear, beloved Mama - thank you forever (Fi Pauline).
