To my dearest Auntie Pat, rest in peace. I have the most wonderful memories of the Allports and Collings spending so many great times together over the years. I still remember the stories Pat shared of her travels to Scotland, sharing with me the photo of her pointing out over the old family farm in Aberdeenshire. It was one of the catalysts for my travel and eventually living in the UK. I remember the pride I felt recreating that photo on my own travels and posting it to my Auntie Pat. Thank you for being a wonderful Auntie. Arohanui. Aa
