To my treasured oldest sister Raewyn, we weren't ready to lose you, but there was clearly a bigger plan. Life will never be the same without you in it. Thank you for being my No 1 fan, and supporting me in anything I did. Thank you for being such a special and loving friend to Les, we were quite the trio every Thursday. Thank you for being the best Aunty around, and loving my children and grandchildren so much. You were always proud of all their achievements, and you and Rick were an ongoing presence in their lives. They adored you. Our bond was special, and will always be felt deeply. Rest now Sis, as it was time for you to be at peace. Love you forever. xxxx
