    My deepest and heartfelt condolences to your family. I never had the opportunity to meet your mom, but have heard many wonderful stories and outings you’ve had with her.

    What a blessing she leaves so many memories and truly was a ‘rare gem’ My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

    I have known Emmie since 2005 when my husband and I moved into Laurel Point. We enjoyed many pleasant times with them. Emmie and I were able to support each other when our husbands died two weeks apart. I will miss her gentle spirit and great courage. Very glad that she is with her beloved Andy again.

    Hi,
    I would often see your mum and dad walking near fishermans wharf years ago and if I asked how are you doing it would be 50/50. I have some very nice and fond memories of your parents and a very good memory of one of their anniversary parties. Good memories. I trust you girls are doing well and life is healthy, with good memories which is as nice as it can get. My best wishes. Frank Lee, the old accountant.
