Hugs to the family. Irene was awesome lady. I spent many school holidays working on the farm and hanging out with Janine. Time watching Irene weave and helping out during dipping. She helped cool me off and took care of me during bouts of sun burn, heat stroke and other times putting up with me hanging around them during the holidays on the farm. Even after I was done school they still welcomed me into there home and gave this city slicker an appreciation for farm life.
Sharing in your sadness girls , I have such great memories of your mum even from the visits and staying out at the farm. She was a truly inspirational women ! She had a lust for life and all there was to learn and achieve, so many talents. So sorry I can not be with you today , but I will be in thought and love to you all .... xxxx. Many hugs Cynthia Hammer
