Dear Bronwen and Barry,
I am now living in NY, USA – a very long story since I haven’t communicated with either of you since the 60’s.
Just wanted to say my memories of your mum were, of course, from these times. I remember her being a very beautiful woman – inside and out… very kind to me… Vivacious and warm!
(And tolerant of the black leopard sking bell-bottom outfits that Bronwen and I made to go out on the town.)
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…
………………..
Take care,
Bronwen
Hi Barry and family,
I was sorry to hear of your mom’s passing,she’s been a wonderful inspiration through the years and I’m sure that you have many wonderful memories.
All the best

To Trudi’s family which she adored.
Over the years we had many wonderful conversations. I will miss her smile and the many stories and despite difficulties the joie de vivre. She was a stoic in the best sense of the word and her delightful spirit will be missed.
Peace be with you all.

This is especially for my “extra” son Barry who used to send me flowers on Mother’s Day because I had played his Mom in so many plays. I cherish those phone conversations with your mother, Barry, in which she used to relay messages from you. What a beautiful woman, inside and out.! So sorry I can’t make the service tomorrow as I have family commitments, but I’ll be with you in spirit.
I have now moved to The Orchard,at St. George’s Church in Cadboro Bay. With Vince gone, that house at Prospect Lake was just too big. I’ve been going to St. George’s for 25 years, so know this is where I belong. I still do some filming which keeps my hand in the business. With deepest love and sympathy, Margaret
