Your mum was such a special woman Clare. I had fond memories of her always looking after the house, you and your siblings! I was always fascinated at how Leonie was able to make soap and always had everything under control (well it looked that way!). She was a very steady and constant force in your lives. Remembering your mum with love. Kind regards. Robyn
Dear family, I wish I could be there today to share and celebrate Nan’s life. I’ll always cherish the memories of Nan filling me up with homemade biscuits and lemonade from her lemon tree, after a hot afternoon working in the yard. Nan was a gatherer, bringing all of the kids and grandkids together. I’m deeply sad, but glad that Nan can be reunited with Pop once again. Love you Nan,
