Our deepest sympathy to Koyt and family , on the loss of your mother, and grandmother. Jean was very proud of her family and often talked about John to me at Rural Women meetings. ‘ I think she was secretly proud of your big beard Koyt’ May she rest in peace, she has lived her life well.x
Shin was such amazing and beautiful lady all the stories and laughter we had, She adored you all so much i am so greatful for the time i had with her. Going to miss those HUGS xoxo Tracy
Deepest sympathy to Gary. Thinking of you.
