Brenda, Mary-Louise and Gerard;

Your mother was a lovely lady and extremely dear to me. She had such a wonderful sense of humour (as she seemed to so enjoy my stories and Brenda's raunchy cards, Brazilian poodle) ! Her love of shopping could not be rivalled, never seen anything like it! Brenda is a sprinter, your mother a marathon runner such stamina. I was once sent on an errand to purchase her tea, the specificity of precisely which tea was acceptable made me both laugh out loud and terrified me. Needless to say, I bought every brand they carried, none were right! Hilarious. Lastly, her children, how she spoke with such love, pride and admiration (and laughter) . She will be missed and remembered. My condolences.

Ivana.
