Simply gutted to hear that Maria has passed. I never met her but have had the pleasure of eating large quantities of her famous plum jam. As an afficionado, I can safely say she made the best jam ever. I am so sad this wonderful family have lost a dear wife, sister, mother and Aunt. Marija.. you have left behind a bereft community but a lasting legacy. R. I. P.

To my kind, gentle, loving and brave cousin your untimely passing (in your 59th year) has left a hole in our hearts. We will always cherish those wonderful halycon days of our youth playing in the orchard together with you and all our cousins. You were a wonderful life partner and sole mate to Ross and a nurturing and adored mother and mother in law to Arlo, Frana and Nick. Loved and cherished beyond measure by your siblings and their families. You will be greatly missed by the family of Bob and Anne Dragicevich (both deceased) and your parents the late George and Karmela will be waiting to greet and embrace you on the other side. Rest now in peace.
Much love from Jack and the Waterview Drags.
