Tributes

The last time I met Shar was on the deck of the Copthorne Hokianga. We had the most hilarious night in the company of Pip and Shane, my girls Frankie and Gabi and of course Debs and Verne. The funeral today was testimony to the beautiful family that Shar created and has passed on to Debs and the girls. Her legacy will live on this wonderful family. Frankie sends her love and wishes she could be here too. Big catch ups in the North over summer I hope xxxx
