Tributes
Dear Murray and Family, It was with such sadness to read of our Dear Friend, Doreen. We will always remember her with that beautiful smile, smiling eyes, and quick smile. She will be missed in the Lilliput Caravan Club. She loved her music, and playing her harmonica. A truly lovely woman. Our deepest condolences to you all. Jim and Sharon Duffy.
I always looked forward to our Southern Rallies, for I knew that Doreen and you Murray, would be there with genuine greetings and big smiles. Laughter, fun activities, food and bonhomie were assured when the Richards were there. The bonus at the New Plymouth Rally last October was that Doreen was able to be with us for much of the time. She always gave us her lovely smile which reflected her loving nature and genuine friendship. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. My deepest sympathy to you, friend Murray.
