Dear Daniela
I will always treasure our friendship of 46 years. We were always able to confide in each other. I’ve always admired your way of life and the beautiful family you and Con have raised. I’ll miss you dearly my beautiful friend.
Love Jenny

The reason we are told to live our life to the fullest is because you have no idea when your gone. I worked alongside this beautiful woman at the City of Whittlesea for many years. So many coffees and chats . Sharing our stories about our families and friends but mainly about our many cultural groups we supported as sometimes it could be very challenging. So many words to describe this champion of cultural tradition and wanting to leave a legacy of her own story. Dani your time made a difference to so many people. Thankyou for being my team mate for so long. My condolences to all the family she so loved every one of you.

Daniela you provided me a second home during my teenage years where I felt very much a part of your family. In being such a wonderful mother you have guided your children to be 5 amazing people. I am so fortunate to have benefited from your parenting because the values instilled in your children lead me to Jane which is a lifelong friendship as special as any family.
Rest in peace.

Thinking of you all at this very hard time. We're so sorry to hear what happened to your Mum. Daniela was always so lovely to us, welcoming and caring. She will always hold a special place in our hearts ❤️ I will forever remember when for parents welcomed us for dinner into me into your family home in Woodstock. It was the first time I had met them; your dad was preparing BBQ outside, while your mun showed me the individual portraits of you all on the wall and her beloved procelling dolls and making sure I try her Pizzelle. She was an extraordinary woman with whom I admired and respected dearly (from Tam).

As you know, loosing a parent is difficult; more so when it is unexpected and sudden. May you all find strength and solace in sharing and remembering the wonderful and joyful memories you shared all together.

Condolences to all the children and grandchildren, Danie you’ll be sadly missed. My memories of Danie were family picnics and going on a cruise with her, we had lots of fun. RIP my friend xx

We will remember fondly the beautiful kind and thoughtful Daniela and send our sincere condolences to Katrina Jane Adam Ben and Luke

Words cannot describe the sorrow I feel on the sudden passing of my dear friend Daniela.

She was such an inspiration to me and those that knew her. So gifted in her craft making, her studies and of course her love for the Italian language. The beautiful book she wrote as a legacy for her children and grandchildren, ‘I Ricordo di Mia Madre’, will be forever treasured by Kat, Jane, Ben, Adam, Luke and grandchildren.

I will miss our phone chats, our catch ups, watching live shows together. I loved hearing about her next planned adventure and the beach walks we were planning to do together, but most of all I will miss her beautiful smiley face.

Fly high my adventurous friend Daniela 🌹
Love always Rosa Ferrante

So sorry to hear of Daniela’s passing. We will always remember her smile and her love of our Italian heritage. Sincere condolences to her children and grandchildren.
RIP Danni

Always generous of mind, heart and spirit. A strong woman committed to the care of others and ensuring each person's story was respected, acknowledged and shared. We will miss your beautiful smile Daniela, your ability to have everyone organised, included and valued. We have forever your heartfelt writing and your celebration of the Italian Australian community's' legacy. Con eterno affetto teresa

In sharing the shock and sadness on the passing of Daniela, I extend my deepest sympathies to all her family and friends.

As a colleague at the City of Whittlesea over a number of years I benefitted daily from Daniela's hallmark smile and her warm, caring and dedicated nature. A lady so proud of her heritage and family, Danie had many talents which she shared generously (including her baking - yum!).

I am the richer for having known you Daniela.
May you live forever in our hearts and memories.

May God Bless Daniela and all her Family May she rest in Peace

Condolence To the family.

Bella Daniela..

We were friends for a short time but what a priviledge.

We just clicked and you were like a caring older sister, who'd call and we'd chat about this and that, you offering me support, and me checking in on you during the lockdown.

Recently, you wished me a safe voyage on my o/s trip and asked me to call you on my return. But you've gone ahead...

I'm so very sad to hear the news of your passing.

My sincere condolences to your loved ones.

Ciao Bella Daniela 💞 x

In loving memory of Daniela Di Clemente.
Tony and I can’t believe you are gone. You were such an inspiration to all those that knew you. You loved your family unconditionally and were so proud of all of their achievements as they were of yours. Your memory will live on forever. We are extremely fortunate and better people for knowing you. We have no doubt that Con would have welcomed you with open arms and you are both now walking the streets of heaven. Until we meet again. RIP Daniela xxx

Vale Daniela. So sorry to hear of your passing. You were such a lovely woman. Kind, calm and gentle. You inspired me to follow in your footsteps and study Family History and write my mother’s story. I picked up your book yesterday and thought of you. I wondered how you were doing. Such a shock to find out that you’re gone. We will miss you in the ‘Ascolta Women’ group. I shall always remember you. Condolences to your family and loved ones. 🌸

Sincere condolences to Daniela's family and loved ones. So sad to hear of the passing of such a kind, caring and generous lady. A wonderful and fun loving friend who will be greatly missed.

Condolences to Daniela’s family. I feel like I know you all. Daniela was always so proud of her children and grandchildren, she spoke about you with a big smile on her face and shared many beautiful photos of you all.

I worked at the City of Whittlesea with your beautiful mother for many years and I was humbled to know her and spend time with her on several occasions. Daniela had genuine compassion, empathy, patience and time for everyone.
I could listen to her speak Italian for hours, it was beautiful and I learnt heaps from her.
The book she wrote about her mother’s experiences in Australia was heart warming as it reminded me of parents and their experiences immigrating from Italy
Daniela did so much for our community. This is a huge loss for all of us and my heart goes out to her family. 😘❤️🌹🪻🌸🌺🌻🌹🪻🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Dear Kat, Jane, Ben, Adam and Luke,
My sincere condolences for the passing away of your beautiful strong adventurous loving mum Daniela.
Daniela loved all things Italian…cooking. music, dancing, and of course the Italian language which we often spoke together.
She was a talented writer who wrote biographies capturing with vigour and compassion the life of her mother and others.
Daniels quickly befriended those in her new community of Avondale Heights and was always interested in our stories.
In a short time we became best buddies. I will miss you Daniel.
May you rest in peace in God’s loving hands.
There is a brilliant new star glistening in the night sky - Daniela

Thinking of you all. I have you in my prayers in my heart.
With love Esther x

My deepest condolences to the family I’m so sorry for your loss may she rest in peace ❤️

To my beautiful friend Danie

We’ve been great friends for 50 years, sharing lots of wonderful memories with our husbands John & Con, and our beautiful children. We’ve enjoyed many parties, BBQ’s and picnics together.
We both lost our husbands who were best friends and we continued our beautiful friendship supporting each other and creating our own adventures on the weekends. I would’ve never imagined I’d lose you so suddenly, I’m still in shock.
I’ve lost you my best friend Danie and Con, along with my husband and I never got the chance to say goodbye to any of you. This has been so hard to comprehend, I pray that you are all reunited and can take care of each other.
May our children, along with their partners and our grandchildren continue this friendship for years to come. I promise to always be there for your sweet children; Katrina, Jane, Ben, Adam & Luke. I love them all like they’re my own.
Until we meet again may God bless your beautiful soul my best friend. I will always remember the special times we shared together and you’ll be forever in my heart.

Love always
Carmel

I offer my heartfelt condolences to the family on the passing of Daniela. I have beautiful memories of her at St . Mary’s. She always took time to talk to everyone & helped out in any way that she could. She was so kind and gentle. May her soul Rest in Peace.

My sincere condolences to you all. Your Mum, Daniela, was a warm, caring, lovely woman. She loved Con and her family deeply and was generous in supporting your journeys through school and beyond. Daniela was regularly in classrooms helping. On one occasion, I remember her making the plaited dough for the Easter cake and placing eggs in the gaps. She returned after it was cooked to share with the class. The Easter tradition meant a lot to her. Rest in peace Daniela, you lived a very worthy life. God bless your family. 🙏🙏♥️

Words cannot describe for the for the loss of your mother.
Sending my love deepest sympathise to the family. I don't know what to say but it must be hard for all.
Daniela my friend of many many years you will be sadly missed such a beautiful
committed gentle and kind soul.
"Fly high my beautiful friend"
Rest in Peace

Sincere condolences to the family ,rest in peace Daniela 🤍🪽from Antonietta and Peter .

Daniela was a beautiful soul, always caring and inclusive.
We first met when our children, who attended St. Mary’s in Whittlesea, became friends.

One of the great memories I have of Daniela is the special interest she took in my singing and the wonderful help she gave me, translating Schubert’s Ave Maria into Italian for me and teaching me the correct pronunciation of the words.

Katrina, Jane, Ben, Adam and Luke, your mother’s love will live in your hearts forever. RIP Daniela

Carissimi tutti, è sempre vivo il ricordo di Daniela e Con , qui da noi un po' di anni fa'.
È stata molto piacevole la loro compagnia e i loro sorrisi 😊

So grateful to life for introducing me to Daniela and her wonderful family... I experienced her hospitality and generosity, I enjoyed her friendship, her smile and affection. I will forever keep in my heart the memory of the beautiful person she was.
Heartfelt condolences to Katrina, Jane, Ben, Adam, Luke and Rossella, Lina, Mina... a big hug from Italy to all of you.

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel on the very sad & sudden loss of lovely Daniela. I will treasure our last conversation only 12 days ago arranging our next catch up that is not meant to be. So many fond memories over our 13 year friendship that more often than not consisted of something baked and cooked from the heart and many laughs and wonderful conversations. I will miss this immensely.
To Katrina, Jane, Ben, Adam & Luke and families we offer our sincere condolences. You were her world and she was so very proud of you all. May her love for you help you through this difficult time and May she Rest in eternal Peace with her beloved Con.

A beautiful lady, so many fond memories of her and your family growing up, May she rest in peace always xx

To Kat, Jane, Ben, Adam and Luke and Daniela's sisters I and my daughter Ester extend our heartfelt condolences to you. I hold a treasure of memories of Daniela in my heart from the time 4 of her 5 children attended St John's Primary School Thomastown East. Daniela was involved with a passion in the education of her children and assisted the St John's community with genuine interest and nothing was too difficult to achieve. She was a model wife and mother and had the characteristics of womanhood and pride in everything she did and accomplished. I am deeply sorry that on that Saturday we didn't finally speak and make arrangements to meet and enjoy a catch up over coffee; something we had wanted to do for so long but were caught up in our busy lives. I am truly sorry that I didn't hear her voice and that laughter of joy and the eyes that lit up when she spoke of her children and grandchildren. May all the family take a leaf out of her book of life and treasure those memories she leaves with you. I have her book "I Ricordi di Mia Madre" and I have your book too Kat. May Daniela live forever in your memory as she will in mine. A beautiful woman gone to reunite with her husband ( who she missed so much) and family members. May Daniela Rest in Peace.
The Pastorelle Sisters in Bundoora send their condolences to the family.

Condolences to the family, Daniella was a dear and wonderful friend who I cherished dearly. She will be greatly missed. Until we meet again.

Deepest condolences to Daniela's family and friends. She lived life to the fullest and will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
