Firstly may I express my condolences to Gaye's extended family and especially to my son in law Peter and my daughter Kerry, peter's wife. I didn't know Gaye for very long, only since peter and Kerry married but it quickly became apparent to me that she was a very strong and resourceful lady who, regardless of her years was able to live independently and happily until ill health meant that would be no longer possible. May the memories you will be sharing now help to lessen the sadness that is always felt so deeply at the loss of a loved one. Respectfully, Earle Haymes.

I have known Lyn's Mum since Lyn & I were teenagers. She was such a lovely lady, quietly spoken & very full on caring for her family - she will be so sadly missed by her children, all her grand & great grandchildren & all the people who surrounded her. Rest in peace Lyn's Mum - you've had a busy but fulfilling life. Watch out kids she will now know what you got up to but never told her :-)
