What a wonderful happy and inspiring friend to us your loving wife and mother was, specially to me when I became a Kerang resident in 1971!! Peter often relates his early years with Dorothy and her family living next door to them in Shadforth Street and the fun (sometimes naughty!) times he and Jim had during their primary years!!
My beautiful Granny. I am finding it so hard to say goodbye to you. Thank you for the breakfasts in bed, hot chips, card games and always being so happy to see me.
Love Emma, Nate, Cooper, Ella and Toby xxx
Oh Kath, you were a great Chaperone whom we trusted with our kids going to Swan Hill for school and you loved fruit cakes for Xmas.
You enjoyed life and were always uplifting and positive when we caught up out and about.
Rest peacefully, your work is done.
Deepest sympathy to Jim who will be lost without you and your family at this sad time.
