CHAMBERS (nee Irving). _ Sylvia Isobel Over the rainbow beyond the stars, in that beautiful garden above, surrounded by loved ones who went before. Now at Peace in God's perfect love. We know you'll be waiting till our work is done. For there's more here on earth we must do. There's comfort in knowing when God calls our names we'll cross over the rainbow to you. A family united again in eternity Last of a Family of Ten Sister of Stan, Claude, Ollie, Avie, Dulcie, Dorie, John (Doc), Ivan and Doug. Daughter of Harriet and Charles Irving (both dec.) (Coleraine). Wife of Les Chambers (dec.) (Terang). Mother of Heather and John Dunstan (dec.) (formerly Kerang), Coral and Bill Laing (Geelong). Nana and Great Nana Fiona and Peter Woolfrey - Harper, Hudson and Freya; Brett and Amanda Dunstan - Jacqui and Georgia. "Don't be sad that our Mum, Nana and Great Nana has gone, just be glad that she has been." My Mum "A Mother's someone special with an understanding heart. When others lose their faith in you that's when hers will start." In her 103rd year So Hard To Say Goodbye "You give but little when you give your possessions. It's when you give of yourself that you truly give." Now Is The Hour - Vale Love _ Heather. Nana Memories are the loveliest things, they last from day to day, they can't get lost, they can't wear out and they can't be taken away. Love, and missing you always - You loved us all. A light has gone out in the World. A long journey - well travelled. Love _ Fi, Pete, Harper, Hudson, Freya, Brett, AJ, Jacqui and Georgia. Only One Mother Millions of stars in the Heavens above, only one mother to cherish and love, thousands and thousands of flowers and trees. Hundreds and hundreds of mountains and seas. Everything multiplied over and over, robins and butterflies, bees in the clover, many good friends to think the world of, but only one mother to cherish and love. As per Sylvia's wishes a Private Service has been held ^[5]
