A memory of Gran that I cherish is having breakfast in the morning with Grandma and she would always give me an extra glass of milk and Nesquik. Also the time that she took to teach me how to play pool and I remember the times when we were at Marahau and we would wait for low tide and collecting cockles and pipis. You will forever be in my heart and I will never forget you. Thanks for being Grandma Rest in Peace Gran Lots of love and memories from Shannon
A memory I cherish, is the time at Lakeside when Gran came to visit and I took her in my canoe around all the swans and island in Lake Ellesmere and almost every time I saw her after that, she would remind me of that time. I loved all the times we spent together at Hilliard Street. Every time I hear a clock chime it reminds me of my times with Grandma. I am so glad that Gran is at peace with Grandad. Lots of love from Benjie
Auntie Olive/ Lou Geographical distance of our homes meant we did not see a lot of this family, but I have some vivid memories from my childhood of Olive and her zest for life. I remember her ability to hold stage and entertain people with her skits and music. What a great innings. Condolences to all the family. Barbara
