For Bob and your sons,
Your immediate neighbours here in Richmond, feeling quite bereft, send sincere condolences on the loss of Lee, much loved wife, mother and grandmother around and with whom, so much happy family life occurred, and adventures were shared.
We will miss Lee at our cosy get-togethers over tea and coffee, where we did our best to put the world to rights and shared the latest and greatest of the news that day! We will also miss Lee's words of medical wisdom offered when she enquired after our various health issues, as well as the benefits of her gardening knowledge on native plants.
Rest in peace Lee while we keep your memory alive with fond recollections of our many neighbourly chats.
Our warmest condolences and blessings to you all.
Pat and Peter
