The death of my amazing sister Rita Dawn Page has left a gaping hole in the lives of those who were fortunate to have established contact with her during her lifetime. Rita was an enthusiastic competitive sports person, a social worker and a loyal loving husband to Dudley and a great mother to her four children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In her early days I witnessed her assisting her parents, instructing her younger siblings to win a few points on our tennis courts. In her later years Rita became the family matriarch. Thank you Rita for your beautiful ginger fluff. Rest in peace. Frank and Dianne Borchard & family.

I’ll always remember great sponge cakes that Nan always said weren’t quite right. Tennis, cards, Pops look when he knew that Nan knew what he had done and that even standing directly behind someone isn’t necessarily a safe place on a golf course. I’ll hang on to those memories forever.
Thanks Nan, hopefully you can relax with Pop now.
Love Mark -
