Dearest Mo, Thankyou for your kindness and friendship over the years! From one campout junkie to another. Rest In Love
I'm so sorry for your loss, My heart goes out to you Lee-Ann & all the family during this difficult time, Mo was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed. xx
To my dearest Mo, you beautiful human. I am eternally grateful for your friendship, your fellowship, your divine dry witty humour, for encouraging me to believe in myself when I couldn't and didn't know how, for teaching me how to cater for 100 people without blinking an eye, the best natters over cups of tea and the best porridge I have ever had. Your love and compassion for others was truly immense. Your family always came first but you were always there to support others without judgement and with such kindness. What a legend. All my love to you Mo, to Lindsay, Blake, Abbey and Talliyah who I know will miss you terribly, to your beautiful grand-babies, and to Lee-Ann whose love and support for you was immeasurable. May you be at peace my friend, keep watch over everyone with Christine. Love Alana xxx
