  3. We were both very sad to lose our friend Merrie.
    Since about the mid 60’sMerrie & Steve became our friends – how lucky were we -Steve through teaching,N Friday nights we’d play cards ( too poor to go out anywhere )
    There three little Hockings and one little Blake on the way – Rosemary came later!
    As time passed we enjoyed nights out, both at restaurants and the the theatre. Our dinners with the big mob wee fantastic.
    Eventually golf became part of our lives,Merrie being a quiet champion at Northern Golf Club.
    Together we travelled overseas several times and had a fantastic trip around Australia.
    We continued our get together as time went by.

    A final memory is lying under the stars on the Murray River bank’s surrounded by friends watching satellites passing by. With much love from
