What an amazing woman. I have such fond memories of her. There will be a piece of heart broken for all who knew her. Sending much love and strength to all her family. ❤️
Dear Nol, Wayne, Paul and Neil and partners and family, my sincere condolences on the passing of your mum. She and I have spent time together at various stages in our adult life. She and I met when we were protesting and arguing with Cranbourne Council to build the Clarendon Street Kindergarten. Wayne and Bronwyn attended kinder together there. She was strong, fierce and determined and I appreciated her so very much. Then we joined forces somewhat when myself and Bronwyn and Steven started playing softball at Cranbourne and then again with Mlebourne Wingers and again with Vicsens. I am sad she has gone but that is nothing compared to how you all feel. The service for her today told her story beautifully. kindest regards Jenny Cole
