Heather you were special to R.I.L. till we meet again condolences to your family.
My condolences to the entire family on Aunty Heather’s passing. I ‘Linked’ into the service to say my farewells. One of my earlier memories was when Bryan and Uncle Alan both worked at Aulsbrooks (early 70’s) . A big boss had come down and we had a dinner out. The Rep. at the time was Wally Mudie and he was introducing everyone. When he got to Aunty Heather and I he only introduced one and continued. The boss kept looking back at us and must have mentioned to Wally he missed someone. “ I couldn’t be bothered saying the name twice” was his answer.
Judith & Fraser & families, Our thoughts are with you today as you farewell your Mum. With Kindest Regards.
Our deepest sympathy to all the families at this difficult time.
