Eve was born into a family of six children.  She came fifth, consisting of three girls and three boys.   We were just an ordinary family with both parents working hard  to put their children through Catholic private schools.

Eve as a child was shy and quite the tomboy.  But she soon discovered boys and with that came her feminity, which she held onto all her life.  Always into fashion and buying lots of clothes, shoes and jewelery.  She always looked a million dollars and always turned mens heads when she walked into a room.  She always acted the extravert, and on the outside appeared quite comfortable being the clown and the centre of attention.  She told  me once that she really did not feel comfortable standing up in front of a group and that was her way of overcoming that fear.

Eve loved her music and at the age of fifteen she would stay over at her friends house and go out to Discoes .  Under the watchful eye of her friends older brother, who sadly drowned years later swimming in the yarra river in Melbourne, Victoria.

Eve was kind, she laughed often and was extremely liked by all that worked with her in whatever or wherever she worked.  She worked hard and stayed focused on all she did with one hundred percent dedication.

As sister's we never really fought, we got on well, considering we shared a bedroom together and it was quite small.

One thing that stands out in my mind, Eve would say, never have regrets in life..... with the decisions you make, because if you have doubts and regrets , well you should never have done it in the first place.  Just do it, and live with it , whatever the consequences.

Eve  's marriage ended in divorce and she had two adoring children, to which she did her everything to keep them protected and loved.   

As a family Eve brought something different to all us.  To me her older sister, she brought me so much happiness with all her crazy stories, (which were things that happened to her, or things she did) and she would have me in fits of laughter over the phone and tears rolling down my face.  She would tell me things that would tear my heart out my body, but she would turn it around and made some joke about it.  She was amazing.   I thought she was so strong  and independant.  I admired her, I thought she could conquer whatever.

So having said all these amazing things about Eve, we as family were devastated when the news came to our door and phone calls to family that Eve had taken her life.  There was no sign , that  the desire to stop living was one that she wanted to do.  That day ,we will never forget.  The sadness that followed for her two children................well heartbreaking.   One can go insane if you question the whys.............just accept it and know she is at peace.  We love her.   Her kids are an absolute credit to her, because they come out of the dark and into the light.  They have had to grow up so fast and they take what goodness their mothers seed had placed in them.

I will add the speech's that her children had written for their mother at the funeral


Gabbys speech  gabby was 12

Thank you for coming today.  It's a time to share something about my sexy Eve/mum.  She was not just a mum to me she was also a gorgeous girl.  And she always had the time of her life.  To me she was, not  just a crazy mum, she  was a God.  I really loved her so much.  And the times we had together was magic, like when mum and I went shopping together.  She would always get me what I wanted, but I never took if for granted.  Mum was a crazy woman but always had time to talk to me, and make me feel so warm and happy.  I am my mother, my mother is me.  If mum was happy I was.  If mum was sad I was.  We all love her so much.  We will not forget the days or stories we shared with my Evie.  We will never forget the story of my mum.  Now this is the end and thanks for listening.  Love Gabby.

Kris's speech   Kris was 17

Eve, my mother.  She was funny and random person,  I could always speak to her about a problem and she would somehow turn in into a funny story. 

I remember some of her special meals, she would make.  Such as her world famous roast, and her delicious chicken soup.

I love my mum, and I miss her.  There are so many things about her that I will never forget.  Just somethings that you may or may not know about her, like her laugh and her goofy faces.

I don't know how many people exactly have watched sienfeld, but if you have, your would know Kramer.  Everytime he walked through  a door, everyone would clap and smile, well......that was my mum.

Every friend of mine that met my mum, would probably tell you that she always made them feel welcome.  Whether it was a simple hello or a stupid joke.

Like all families , we had out tough times, but even if my sister or I were not strong enough to handle it, mum would say some soothing words and of course, end up making us laugh. 

Goodbye mummy dearest everything you have taught me will always be in my heart.  I love you mum



See what amazing kids she had, that s what kind of person she was amazing.

Eve was bubbly, effervescent, loving and affectionate.  She always appeared happy.  Though she did have some very tough times to deal with, and as a family we helped as much as we could.  Eve loved music and she was our music.   Forever with us, eternally and now your dancing with Angels.


Love you
