In this morning’s internet version of the Taranaki Daily News I saw the notice of the death of Rosemary Mullin. To John and all the Mullin family especially those whom I knew as youngsters at FDMC I extend my sincere sympathy on this sad occasion…… and those years there don’t seem to be so long ago. May the Good Lord now welcome the good Lady Rosemary home with His arms outstretched and may she be forever at peace.
