We are so very sorry for your loss Uncle Laurie, and to our cousins for the loss of your mum, your families for the loss of their grandmother and great grandmother. She was that gentle, quiet, beautiful aunty to Clive, Gail and Kerry. Gone but never forgotten, another angel in Heaven.
Thanks Mum. You were always available to help us out. You never said 'No'. You were an amazing woman. You were so good at keeping the grand kids entertained while in your care. You gave them a lot of different experiences. You were always willing to try new things and you poured that adventurous spirit into your family. We will carry you in our hearts forever!
