  12. Nan, words can't describe the loss we feel now that you're gone. There will forever be a hole in our hearts, until we meet again.
    I'll miss you at every Christmas, birthday, Mothers day, and all the days that didnt need a reason to visit. The road trips and family adventures wont be the same without you.
    I'll miss you popping in at dinner time, but only having 'a wee bit', staying longer to watch a movie, but talking through the entire 2 hours worth. I will never forget your smiling face waiting at the door of Hush at 3am, to drive us drunk youngens home.
    You did not miss a single dance concert or showcase of mine for over 20 years. Your love and dedication to family was so admirable. You deserved a more gentle end to life, but you handled it in your own perfect way.
    You truly were the most beautiful person, and I'm so thankful i was able to call you Nanna for 27 years. May you rest peacefully 🕊❤️ Love and miss you always, Ash (Brad & Murphy) xx

  26. Deepest sympathy to Stephen, Dee, Dale, Sue ,Sharon, Glenn and families and extended Scott families. June was certainly a unique lady. Always knowing what she wanted and wouldn't,t let anyone tell her differently. Family ( especially ,the recently new born twins ) were always the apple of June's eye. Followed by her love of horse racing and you never got out of her room without a remedie of some sort , made from apple cider.I remember, ( as a young nurse ), June working in the laundry of Colac District Hospital (as it was known then ). A hard worker and an incredible lady. .It was an honour, to care for June ( a former work colleague ). Rest comfortable now June, you've earn it.
