Passed away peacefully.
To say I will miss you doesn’t come close, sis. I will love you unconditionally, always, and miss you deeply for the rest of my days.
Sharon, your loving sister-in-law, shares in this loss and cherishes the love and laughter you gave her.
Kylie, Kane, and your two great-nephews will carry your spirit with them always.
We will miss the hankies you tucked into every birthday card—your little tradition that always made us laugh and will always remind us of your thoughtful nature.
May God grant you the rest and comfort you truly deserved. My heart is full of the memories we shared, the laughter, and the quiet understanding only siblings know.
As we said our final goodbye, we will hold onto those precious moments we had. The loving words spoken between us will stay with me always.
Deeply loved, deeply missed, and forever held close in our hearts.
—Kym, Sharon, Kylie, Kane, Klayton and Ledger.
Beloved Daughter of the late Len & Mary Ladhams and loving sister of Peter (deceased).
