We were away to our winter home down South when you passed and when we came back, had to do the 14 Day Quarantine. So sorry we missed you. Also very difficult for us to help Dianne, as per COVID restriction issues. As a neighbour, we got along great and I will sincerely miss your company. We had some lively conversations for many years, did not always agree, but had lots of fun complaining. You were my best friend when we first moved to Victoria. Rest In Peace my friend.
