We enjoyed many years of friendship and connections with Bob,Glenys and family through school, sport and various other activities. Our sympathy to the family.
What a lovely service. 💕 Very sorry I wasn't able to be there. Cousins, you did so well, paying tribute to your Dad. Your stories made me smile and laugh. The photos were wonderful. Brought back good memories of visits to the farm waaaay out the back of Stratford. 😁 Aunty Glenys and Uncle Robert, together again. Lots of love, Deirdre
