  6. Deepest sympathy to Len, Leanne, Shelley, husbands and grandchildren. I really didn’t want this day to come none of us did but I can say it was a privilege to be Jeanette’s friend and work Collegue in the Woolworth days years ago, to which we have been getting together for years with Rhonda until Covid came and we couldn’t as much. I will always have great memories especially the day I spent with you and your family in hospital and you said do you like my elephant nose as we all know you love elephants. Now it’s time to rest even though we are very sad I’ll always remember your beautiful smile.
