To Melissa and all the family:
You Mum will forever be in my heart.
Her sweet, understanding and loving temperament defined her as an incredible person who will never be forgotten.
I will always see her sweet smile as she peered out her kitchen window at whatever little creature happened to be passing by (as we busily gobbled down her wonderful English pancakes and, undoubtedly, left her kitchen a great big mess! :o)
She was a lovely woman and a great mum.
My thoughts are with you all.
Fondly,
Colleen McCarthy
