What a blessing to have had you in our lives and caring for us through so many wonderful years and milestones. You had endless love in your heart for every single member of your ever growing family. You always had time to catch up over a cuppa and a jam fancy. So many lovely memories to hold close to our hearts forever.

Mama is now safe in the arms of Jesus. I feel blessed and very thankful for your caring love for each of us. We are a large clan but you knew us all intimately, and always had time for each of us from that big heart of yours. Thank you for the laughter, for a shoulder when tears were flowing, the Mama cuddles. I am so grateful for your beautiful care of my little brood. Rebekah and Walter, and Joshua. How my poppets are going to miss you! Louie and Jasper are going to miss your loving NanNan cuddles. Thank you Mama, you are a treasure that will always live in my heart. All my love Dani xxxx Psalm 23

To my wonderful mum- to the hands that first held my own- thank you for letting me hold you in your own final days.

You selflessly loved your family and friends in the most beautiful, caring, intelligent and generous way.

You taught us to be giving, kind, patient and always respectful. You put others first and you showed us how to love, to laugh and to honour the world around us. For these gifts we are forever thankful.

Words cannot describe how much the family will miss you and how much the absence of your hugs and kisses will be felt within our lives.

Be at peace now with Jimmy.

All our love Neen, Jon and Mihali Jim.

Such a lovely LADY. Will miss your cheery smile.
With love from the Derrick Family.

To The Goss family Thel was a great support and friend to us at C.W.L., Ursula and Kath

To our darling mum and nana, our rock, our ray of sunshine…you were always there for us. All you wanted was to be surrounded by your family and wish us the best life possible – which is for us to have a happy life. You were the most giving, loving mum and nana (the best ever), our hearts are breaking right now but we only have to remember your beautiful smile to feel your warmth and hugs…God bless you darling…Rosie, Belinda & Steven

Our beloved Nanna,

You have shaped us in ways you may not have even known. Whether it was running a bath, pouring a tiny drink, eating soup, saying thank you for a thank you or sharing your plant wisdom. There was infinite love in your heart and time in your day for your loved ones no matter how big the family expanded.

A selfless and dedicated Mum, Nanna and G.Nan – you were there for us through it all. I can’t remember a single family event that you weren’t there for over all these years. You showed a genuine interest in our lives and you somehow managed to keep track of us all even remembering little details we shared. You cared for everyone’s wellbeing to the very end.

You never wanted to cause a fuss and you didn’t take yourself too seriously. Even when you moved into the lodge you were just happy to have a break from doing dishes and laundry.

You were so caring and generous in spirit. You had a kind word to share and spoke so positively of the people around you, even when times were tough. You always had time for us and welcomed us so warmly when we visited. I will miss our talks and your stories and life lessons.

The matriarch of our family- you will always be with us, especially when we’re watching out for shocko or wiping our mush. We love you forever Nanna and will miss you immensely.

Our hearts may ache now you’re gone but they are filled with the lifetime of love you gave.

All our love- Viva, Leo and Beanie.

To all the Goss family our thoughts are with you all on the sad passing of Thel

Stephen and Judy Wilson

Such a beautiful soul.You will always be in my precious childhood memories. XO

To my darling mama,

It is hard to imagine a world without you in it.
You truly were the best mother we could ever hope for. In time, we will endeavor to fill this void with the countless memories you have given us.
We will wrap our arms around each other, just like you always have for us, just one of the many threads in the blanket of feelings you have knitted around us.

Love Julianne (Tootie) xxooxx

To my beautiful Nana,

It’s so difficult to face the prospect of a world without you and your beautiful smile in it.

From my early memories of playing checkers with you to your cheeky little one liners in the past few weeks- I will treasure every single second I was lucky enough to spend in your orbit.

Thank you for setting a shining example of a strong, intelligent, formidable woman- I will forever strive to hold even half as much strength and grace as you did.

Thank you for raising my father and his siblings, being a mother-in-law to my mother and for being the warmest grandmother to me. Your love and care will be carried with us for all our days.

I love you dear Nana.

Sending love to all. A wonderful lady ❤️

To our dearest mum, nanna and great nanna,

It has taken a while to pay tribute to a person that we loved so dearly. To be honest we still cannot comprehend a world without you in it.

Thank you for your love, support and generosity.

May you rest peacefully together with Jim.

Love always

Warmest thoughts and condolences to all members of the Goss family.

There are no words to adequately describe such an influential amazing, strong, independent woman.

Matriarch, mother, Mum, Nanna, Thelly, Thelma, Thel (Mary for a week post-birth according to Nanna). We all have different names we called her.

To me she was Nanna.

Memories of Nanna ring true. My strongest memories of Nanna are spending time having cups of tea in her kitchen. Her choice sugarine tablets fizzing as she plopped them in her cup. Her kitchen was her hearth.

When I would knock on the door, I would often hear a shuffle. The sound of ‘home and away’ blaring in the background on the telly or Burkes backyard. The scribbling of a crossword or two found on the morning paper on the inside of the living room. Sometimes a shrill voice calling out down the hallway. A telephone call.

Nanna’s cooking was always my favourite. Her green tomato chutney was a hit and her porcupine balls. Nanna was often willing to share a recipe, a coupon, or a news paper clipping.

If not inside the home I would find her out in the back yard. She would often give me a trimming from her garden. I don’t think I inherited her green thumb as I think I managed to kill most of the plants I inherited 🥹.

Nanna had some really great sayings which I like to refer to as ‘Nannerisms‘.

Phrases and memorable statements such as ‘make sure you wear socks on the plane or you’ll get deep vein thrombosis!!’ Or

‘He could charm the pants off a nun’ and ‘Bugger it, I’ll buy a new one’ – the latter attributed to her mother Molly.

Nanna we love you. You will be sorely missed by all. We feel you with us now as you have transcended to a higher place with Jimmy in the stars.

In my last conversation with Nanna on the phone she said ‘God bless’, now it’s time for me to say the same.

Shine on,

God bless

Josh
