The emotional program was thoughtfully organised by **Gallipoli Home Management**, bringing together families and friends to reflect, remember, and find comfort in shared remembrance. The program included a **recitation of Surah Yaseen and other verses from the Qur’an** by **Imam Abdulhalim Erkoc**, followed by a heartfelt **dua**. The atmosphere was filled with reflection and emotion, with many attendees visibly moved as prayers were offered for their loved ones. It was a moment of spiritual connection, healing, and unity for all who were present. Families of the residents expressed deep appreciation for the program, thanking the management for their **cultural sensitivity** and for honouring the memory of those who had passed. One family member shared a touching reflection: > "I really thank Gallipoli Home for doing this. It took me back to my memories as if my father is here."   At Gallipoli Home, our residents are never just residents — they are **family**. We cherish the joy, stories, and connections they bring into our home, and those bonds do not end when a resident passes. We always aim continue to maintain **lifelong relationships** built between residents, their loved ones, and our staff. This memorial luncheon was a powerful reminder of how deeply we value **connection,** always remembering our residents, holding their memories close and standing alongside their families with respect.   ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fblog.gtcf.org.au%2Fgallipoli-turkish-cultural-foundation-blog%2Fhonouring-our-residents-gallipoli-home-community-luncheon](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fblog.gtcf.org.au%2Fgallipoli-turkish-cultural-foundation-blog%2Fhonouring-our-residents-gallipoli-home-community-luncheon) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://blog.gtcf.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-29%20at%2012.00.57.jpeg?width=2048&height=1536&name=WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-29%20at%2012.00.57.jpeg) Scroll.
