Those Coolgardie days were unique and totally memorable. My family received support and kind friendship from both Jacquie and Dave over the years. Jacquie and I also enjoyed countless days with countless cups of tea and countless chats. Those chats were stories of childbirth; bringing up small children; schooling; Star Wars; the kids hanging upside down on our climbing frame and playing in the gardens and my side alley. Plus sharing the hilarious stories of wearing contact lenses. I remember our lovely get togethers at Christmas and kids birthdays - your wonderful buffets and generous hospitality - all very poignant and evocative. You are a loving mother to Matthew, Jon and Kate and a wonderful wife. I shall miss our Christmas letters sharing all our news; I shall miss you, my friend. May you rest in peace.
