The coolest Great Aunt! I always loved Aunty Olive…such an amazing lady who I really didn’t spend as much time with as I would’ve liked! She’s also been a special connection for me to my Nana (Zena), her sister, since she passed away in 2008. What an incredible life of service and love, leaving an inspirational legacy.
Dearest Alyson and Maureen, Although I did not know your mum, our family is witness to her legacy. From the faithful, steadfast, gentle, servant hearted, creative family that we love and are blessed by in knowing her children, her grandchildren and great grandchildren, we are grateful. Well done, good and faithful servant. We love you McConchie and Mulholland families.
