Rozelle fire victims Bianka O’Brien, 31, and her son Jude, 11 months, were laid to rest at Sutherland today.
The pair were farewelled during a moving ceremony at St Joseph’s Catholic Church at Rozelle before a private ceremony for family and friends at Woronora Cemetery.
Mrs O'Brien, who owned Ramsgate business Urban Hair Culture, and her son were killed in the convenience store blast that ripped apart the apartment block they lived in on September 4.
Husband and father John O’Brien told mourners his wife and son were his world.
"She was a lot of things to a lot of people ... She was everything to me," he said.
"When Jude came along ... it just changed my outlook on life. It gave me purpose."
Bianka's father, Bill Keremelevski, also spoke of his love for his grandson.
"I now believe that through Bianka and John, an angel came into the world and into our family. That angel was Jude," he said.
"Jude finished his job in less than 12 months and returned to God.’’
Police formed a guard of honour as Mr O'Brien entered the church, and as he left, one of six pallbearers carrying the white casket with his wife and child inside.
Family and friends will hold a private ceremony at Woronora Cemetery, Sutherland Shire, where Bianka grew up, on Wednesday afternoon.
The police investigation into what caused the explosion and subsequent fire continues.
