Yesterday

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved mum. I will always remember her for her kind, caring nature. She always showed up and was always ready to give the shirt off her back. I will miss our wee catch ups at Mitre 10, and hearing what you are all up to. She was so proud of you all. Big hugs to you all.

Condolences to you all on the passing of your dear Mum.
Debbie was a godsend to my mother Audrey McKay taking her to Lodge & delivering her home getting her inside making sure she was safe.
Will miss our catchups we had whenever I met her in M10!!!
Definitely will be missed.
