Family and friends are invited to come together to honor and remember the life of Edward Rooke at a memorial service scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th at 1:30 p.m. The service will be held at All Souls Chapel, located within Rookwood Cemetery, a place known for its peaceful surroundings and significance as a resting place for many loved ones.
In a heartfelt gesture, Ingrid has shared that those who wish to have one final viewing of Edward will be able to do so from 1:00 p.m., prior to the official start of the service. This quiet time offers family and friends an opportunity for personal reflection, allowing them to say their goodbyes and pay their respects in a more intimate setting.
The service itself will provide a space for remembrance, where loved ones can gather to celebrate Edward’s life, share memories, and find comfort in one another’s presence. Moments like these are deeply meaningful, offering both closure and a chance to reflect on the legacy he leaves behind.
Following the chapel service, attendees are invited to continue the gathering at Strathfield Golf Club. Located in Strathfield, the venue will host a post-service reception where guests can come together in a more relaxed environment to share stories, offer support, and celebrate Edward’s life over refreshments.
For those unable to attend in person, a live stream option will be made available, ensuring that everyone who wishes to participate can do so, regardless of distance. This allows extended family and friends to be part of the farewell and remembrance.
As loved ones gather on this day, the focus remains on honoring Edward Rooke’s life, cherishing his memory, and supporting one another through a time of loss.
