Aunty Gwen, you always made me laugh. But we would laugh together. I can see your sparkly eyes full or mirth and your head thrown back as the belly laugh was about to burst out. And that cheeky giggle. So cute. Do you remember all the messages you had to do in that humber? And you got to smoke two cigarettes a trip quickly followed by mint fresh breath lollies quickly followed by Len's have you been smoking Gwen. Of course you hadn't!! I loved working with you the hospital. I loved staying at your place, especially when Elizabeth used half a pound of butter to mash the potatoes with. Best ever!! Bulrush, when you called me to come to you which I did and was out. Oh how you laughed!! Sewing my costumes and dresses. You were the bomb!! The joy of visiting you when no-one else was there. Special. Letting me live with you for a time. Memories galore. Thank you for being such a fun Auntie and for your love. Love you very much. Donna
