First and foremost, I would like to thank everybody for coming today. I appreciate that some of you have travelled a long way and I know mum would be very pleased.
We are gathered here in the memory of our wife, sister, mother, grandmother and aunty (Liz), so that together, we may acknowledge and share both the joy in the gift that her life gave to us and the grief that her passing brings.
Mum was born on the 15 January 1955 in Manly Vale to Peter and Patricia Bradstreet. She was one of four siblings to John, David and Sue and grew up in the family home at 94 King Street, Manly Vale.
Mum attended St Kieran’s Primary School and then Stella Maris Secondary College. On completion of high school, mum went on to study Dental Nursing at TAFE.

Growing up, I would often joke with my friends telling them I lived in a display home. Once the vacuum cleaner had been put away we couldn’t walk on the carpet as it would show footprints and consequently look untidy.
Family, and her role as a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and aunt were the most important things to mum. This is where she drew her strength and left her legacy. Being with her family was what she enjoyed most of all.
Mum is survived by her husband (Larry), children (Katie, Matt, Scott and myself) and her ten grandchildren (Indianna, Paris, Declan, Connor, Shaun, Madison, Chantelle, Caleb, Aiden and Harlia).
Whilst mums life had many obstacles, she was a kind and beautiful soul who passed away far too young.
She was a strong and determined woman who battled illness for 25 years and yet, through it all, her love and compassion for her family remained her primary focus.
Even though mum was in tremendous pain, she never liked the attention. Instead, she was more concerned with our happiness rather than her own
