My Kindest Thoughts to Clare’s family and to the McGrath Family. The Mc Graths were our neighbours “across The Avoca River” for many years. Till Mum and Dad ( Bert and Rita Parker ) sold the farm and retired. We had watched all the McGrath Kids grow up. Wonderful family. Sincere Sympathy to All. Chris Bett.
Dear Stuart and family, it’s with shock and sadness to learn of Claire’s death. Our connection was but fleeting at a bird watching session in the Gunbower Island forest, however the affect has been long lasting. Our condolences at this sad time.
Clare was a beautiful lady, she always had a warm smile and a friendly greeting.
So sorry for you loss xx😞
Although I didn’t know Clare well we often had very pleasant chats in the supermarket. Her open friendly manner and sincere sunny smile somehow always improved my day. It is so sad that she is gone so suddenly and much too soon. Sending my heartfelt condolences to family and friends.
Julie Hall.
Stuart, I was there today with you all but just could’t get to see you!

Mrs McCurdy, thank you for so many wonderful memories of time spent with Shannon and your beautiful family over the years. In particular, I will cherish the childhood ones; sleepovers, trips to Quamby in the Landcruiser with John Williamson playing and crafting days! You shared your sewing talents with many. When we were young, you spent lots of time to sew us jumpers with fun puff designs and even made clothes for our Cabbage Patches too! Years later you made bath blankets for my boys. How special you are, you will be missed.
Lots of love to Shan, Mr. McCurdy, Andrea, Lauren and Kymberly and their families, the McGrath’s and the Cameron family.
