Hi guys, I’m saddened to read of your mum’s passing today in the paper. I remember Jill as a cool lady, kind and thoughtful to us kids as we grew up on Bird Road. My my, those really were the days weren’t they! I know this will be a hell of a time for you guys and this damn covid thing limits the number of people able to attend, but rest assured, loads of us out here in the Naki are thinking of you at this time.
