TO MEMORY TIMELINE
To a wonderful mum, I never said it enough but you were a brilliant mum, who loved us unconditionally, protected us and also worked with us side by side. You were both fun and fierce, a friend and a teacher, and always there for us no matter the circumstances. It’s hard to believe you are no longer with us in body, but the love we felt from you will always be with us, and you can never be forgotten. I will always cherish the times we had and am so grateful that you were in our lives. And I am happy that you’re free to be the fun loving, carefree person that you were at heart. I love you very much and miss you dearly. Love Angeline ❤️

To the Beautiful Bilas family. I am deeply saddened by the news of the family's beloved Mother Sara Bilas that passed away and now is in a beautiful place. She is resting now or could be working on her next journey. I only knew her for a short period of time but she was a lovely soul & we had many beautiful chats which I won't forget. She will be sadly missed. My sincere 💛 condolences lots of Love Georgia B xxxx
Oh my dear, beautiful Mum, where have gone? You've been such a fierce force in our lives that we simply have no idea what we're going to do without you! Please know how deeply you were loved ... ARE loved. Just because your poor body has left us doesn't mean you're not still an essential part of our lives. We'll never ever ever forget you, you wonderful, happy soul. May you rest in eternal peace ... but definitely give Harry an earful every now and again. Good luck at that grand old casino in the sky.

Dear Saras Aunty, You were passionate about all things, especially education. Always leading with a kind heart, strength and fierce determination, intermingled with a sense of humour that filled a room. Your laughter I can still hear. This is what I remember of You. The legacy you leave behind are in your kids, my cousins Janine, Angeline and Neil. A prime example of how you lived and loved- how your desire for betterment and success shines in everything they do, including their adventurous spirits and creative endeavours. You are leaving behind the best of yourself, mirrored in them and your beautiful brilliant grandkids. May you rest easy Saras aunty- knowing that you did well, loved the best you could and raised amazing people who have been imprinted by you forever. I trust that Janine, Angeline and Neil will find comfort in knowing that they honoured you to the best of their abilities and from the deepest part of their hearts. Sending love to my courageous cousins as they follow in your path, lead heavily by the examples you set before them. With love and remembrance, Shirleen Vance Vancouver, Canada

Today is a very sad day, and my love goes out to the family of Saras. I want to say a personal thank you to her for the kindness, generosity, and fun she showed me when I first arrived in Australia. She welcomed me with such a warm heart and continued to be a joyful, laughing host every time I visited and caught up with the family. My heart goes out to you all, and my thoughts remain ones of happiness and gratitude as we remember Saras and the special place she holds in our lives.
To my darling mother, you were a powerful force for good in this world and I'll always remain in awe of you. You radiated kindness and generosity and found beauty in the simplest of things. You opened your arms to the world, embraced the people you met and were forever curious though cautious about how things worked. You dared for better. You dared to be yourself. I'll miss your warm hugs, soft hands, cheeky smile, big laugh and endless musings on life. I love you mumma. Your two grandchildren will learn about you and I see your cheekiness and fierce determination in both of them. So you'll never truly be gone. Thank you for everything you've done for us. Thank you for your heart. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your courage to break boundaries. Thank you for my sisters. Thank you for everything you taught me and continue to teach me. Thank you. With love from my deepest heart ❤️
