    We are all feeling sad not to be able to give you a hug, but know that we are thinking of you all with great memories of past good times spent together. Hopefully we will soon be able to greet each other as we once did, but for now we send you all our love and sincere sympathy.

  10. Our Loving Sympathy to Jan, Sandra, Kaye & Families at the loss of your beautiful mother, Gwen. She will be sadly missed by her Family & all who knew her. Always smiling, happy & cheerful. Fond memories of our times at Waitchie Church & other events.
    After Graeme & Gwen moved to Bendigo, we could be almost certain of seeing them at the Market Place having coffee & pull up a chair to join them for a chat & a catch up. Bump into them in Queensland if you were up there for a holiday. Always pleased to see you, remembering the good times.
    They were so proud of you all, treasure your great memories always.
