Dear Ross and Family
So sorry for your loss. All those years ago with the underwater club Vera was always by your side. If dad was still around he would have lots of kind words to say about her as well. Our thoughts are with you loosing a wonderful kind gentle lady and soul mate.
Sorry I will not be able to attend the funeral as we are now living in Waimate. All our love. Irene (Hawkins) and Paul Galloway.
