Dear Murray and Family
My deepest sympathies to you all. Catherine Neave kindly let me know of Jocelyn´s passing just yesterday. Murray, you will no doubt be missing your lovely, engaging and humour filled wife. She always appeared to have such a "handle" on life in general - and on you too Murray!. It has been a privilege to have meet you both. I will be thinking of you Murray especially at this very sad time.

Warmest wishes
