Post Funeral

We are grateful to the over 200 who braved the weather to attend her funeral and fully understand the inability of others who called later and who were unaware of her demise and unable to join to pay their last respects. Given that she died a little after Noon on Saturday and the funeral was on Sunday morning; the participation was remarkable and obviously indicative of the communities love and esteem for her.

We also thank all those who have called, emailed and contacted us from near and far.
