Dear Jemma and Gareth, So sorry for the unexpected loss of your mother. Taken way to soon. Thinking of you over this hard time. Wayne Copestake
Jemma So sorry to hear the sudden passing of your Mum. We all have fond memories from our time at St Pius. Jennifer was also one to always have a chat when bumping into her out and about. Grief has no rule book, all the best as you and the extended family navigate going forward with what now has to be a new normal.
What a lovely send off for you Jennifer. I will look after your beautiful daughter Jemma here in Melbourne. You will be deeply missed by many. Jordy x
Beautiful service, sending my love to Jemma, Gareth and Jennifer's entire family and friends. Life is a gift she didn't waste and although her time has come to an end she will live on forever in the hearts of the ones she held closest.
Fond memories of a tireless worker and friend. Always cheerful and helpful.
Thinking of you all. Sending love and hugs. 🥰
Thinking of you all with love and sympathy at this sad time and praying that you'll find peace and comfort in the memories of the many happy times you shared with Jennifer. Sorry we can't be with you on Tuesday.
So sorry to hear of Jennifer’s untimely passing. My deepest sympathy to you all. Fondly remembered. Maureen Hassell
Mrs Mallon was my teacher and a friend of my grandad. My grandad always spoke very highly of her, and I thought she was a great teacher. I’m sorry for your loss
We were saddened to hear of Jennifer's passing. Thinking of you all. Cherish all your memories. Lots of love ❤
I'm so sorry to hear this news. Jenny and I worked together years ago at Victoria Ave school and she also taught my daughter Nicola in what was then std 3. Go well Jenny
We are so saddened to hear of Jennifer’s passing. She was a beautiful and friendly lady and she is gone much too soon. We will be there with you as you say goodbye on Tuesday. All our love xxx
I am so glad I got to meet Jennifer, an easy lady to talk to. Maybe that's because we were both teachers. I will be thinking of you all on Monday. I'm a bit far away to come. I am in Morocco at present.
