  6. Beautiful Mary, you were a constant smile and warm hug through our youth as another generation of Hulm kids to grow up around you through your many years of service to Hulm's Bakery. I can't imagine that place without you and always looked forward to seeing you whenever we would come home to Colac to visit.
    I'm so glad to know God has such a qualified angel to join the ranks. You really were an angel on earth.
    With love and gratitude for your presence in our lives.
    Rest in Peace.
