POČIVAO U MIRU BOŽJEM
To my beloved husband,
You were my heart, my home,
and my greatest blessing.
Thank you for the beautiful life and family
we built together. Though my heart
is broken, I find comfort knowing
you are now in God’s loving embrace.
I will love you always and
hold you in my heart until
we are together again.
Your loving wife, Ljubica.
Tata,
There are no words to express how heartbroken
we are knowing you will no longer be with us, to see
you or hear your voice.
We are so thankful to you
for your unconditional love,
your endless sacrifices,
and your unwavering support.
You taught us the importance of hard work,
encouraging us to keep going
and to never give up,
no matter what challenges
or obstacles lay ahead.
You lived with honesty, integrity
and always stood by what was right.
You appreciated the simple things in life,
always putting those you loved and cared
for above all.
You worked so hard your entire life
and never expected anything in return.
You simply gave your all -
for your family, your friends,
and anyone in need.
You made a difference in so many lives,
more than you could ever know.
You showed us the value of faith
and instilled in us a
deep respect for our cultural heritage,
and to never forget where we came from.
Your values and teachings have shaped us
into who we are today,
and we will carry your memory with us always.
You will be deeply missed by all
who knew and loved you,
and your legacy will live on
in every story we tell,
every meal we share,
and in everything we do.
Rest peacefully in God’s eternal embrace.
With all our love, your children,
Stanko and Kim,
Branka and Iain,
Antica and Slavko.
Dide,
To be your grandchildren is
an honour we will continue
to uphold. You taught us
the meaning of resilience,
the power of determination,
and the importance of integrity.
You instilled in us a deep love
and respect for our family and cultural traditions.
Your immeasurable strength, fierce courage,
and unwavering dedication will always inspire us.
The values you taught, the stories you shared
and the example you set are testament
to the incredible life that you lived.
We cannot thank you enough for every sacrifice
you made to ensure our future,
and we will carry your legacy with pride.
Your impact on our lives has shaped
us into who we are today and we will
miss you dearly every day.
Love always, your grandchildren,
