  8. Dear Alex, Jenny, Peter, Kerry and Families,

    We were so saddened to hear you have lost the treasured company of your adored Mum and we extend our sincere sympathy.

    Those that we have laughed with; learned from; leaned on; and loved most leave us the very best memories and we pray your precious memories will soften your sadness and help you through the days ahead.

    Aunty Esma was a wonderful lady whom we will without fail recall with great fondness. When viewing prized family history photos, we are always captivated by glimpses of Aunty Esma’s life as the cutest of little girls, a stunning bridesmaid, a radiant bride and as a bright, engaged older person.

    Sending love and healing hugs,.
