I have such cherished memories of my Ma. She was always one to enjoy a laugh and indulge my inner entertainer. I remember putting on elaborately choreographed musical numbers where I could always count on one smiling audience member applauding for more (no matter how off key I sung), my Ma. When I think of Ma, I feel warm and cosy because that was how she was. Always humming a sweet tune, inviting you into her room or sharing a memory from her magnificent life. Living to the great age of 98 shows just how strong of a woman you were Ma, and I know you are looking down at us smiling. Love you always, Jasmine xo

Ma Cairns you hold a special place in my heart. Remembering the times you came to stay with us in Australia. Teaching me how to behave like a lady as I was becoming of age and every weekend going to the shops together. You always carried yourself with grace and had amazing style (I know where I get it from). You were a strong and loving Ma and I will miss those bear hugs. Love you very much. Stacy

Ma had a brilliant sense of humour; I'll always remember when Ma came to visit Australia for the first time, she asked "Did you miss me?" Being a young child still free from the obligations of decorum, and still living day to day, I answered, "No" matter of factly and without hesitation. Ma loved it. I still vividly remember her laugh, one I'd hear many times, indeed, pretty much everytime we spoke. Whenever we spoke she always asked if I'd missed her and I'd always tell her no and we'd always laugh. Well, there's no denying it anymore. I'll miss you Ma. Love Dyalan.

I have many lovely memories of my Ma Cairns. Hot summer days, swimming together in our backyard pool plus opening gifts together on Christmas Day. I am also so grateful that I had the opportunity to share my wedding day with her. That is a memory that I will always cherish. The memory of my Ma will also live on in the legacy that she left behind. She showed great strength and resilience in the face of suffering. She instilled strong values in her family such as perseverance, loyalty and pulling together in tough times. I hope to continue that legacy in her memory. I am grateful for all that Ma brought to my life and I am blessed to have had her as my grandma. Rest in Peace. Love you Ma Cairns. Samantha, Mark, Tahlia, Abigail, Eve.
