Dear Steve, Antonia and Stefan

Anuska will be forever in my thoughts. It has been such a shock. So vibrant, always thinking of others and I will miss her laugh. My heart goes out to you.

Draga Anuska

We meet the first time when we became Central United Football Clubs 1st Women's Soccer Team in 1986.
From first impressions you looked quiet but I was wrong!!!

You had a strong and bubbly personality.

Pick ups for soccer on Sunday as we had no cars and your mum use to wave us off.

End of year party at Kays for the team. You played on the little drums and sung. We celebrated as none of us had played soccer before and we lost all our games first round and second round we bet them all!!

Singalongs on the mens bus trips with Gordon on guitar

Dancing and having fun at my 21st

Great memories as you are a genuine kind person who has made knowing you special.

Anuska was always a ray of sunshine, and she shone even brighter after meeting you, Steve.

We had so many laughs and good times growing up (even when she made me listen to her beloved Billy Idol on repeat!).

My heart is broken for you all. May her beautiful light keep shining from above, and may your precious memories bring comfort in this heartbreaking time.

Sending all our love xx

We cannot believe you're gone,
Anuska, a beautiful, vibrant, bubbly young wife, mother, friend & neighbour, always took time out to ask how you are and what she could do to help out, always thinking of everyone else's well being more than herself.
Rest well Anuska.
Steve, Antonia & Stefan, our sincerest condolences.

Tim, Andrea and the boys.
