Dear Susan (and family)
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mum. It didn't seem very long since we were last chatting and catching up on the last 5 years.
She was a remarkable role model and I know that she will leave behind her legacy with you and the grandchildren. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. I hope that her funeral was a wonderful celebration of a successful, accomplished and happy life. May you get comfort and support from your wider family. Roz Parry, Parliamentary Service.

In loving memory of dear Cousin Kate. We only met a few times in person, but through our combined email circle of genealogical cousins, we enjoyed many wonderful discoveries and laughs. I am proud to be related to such an admirable, charming woman, and I will forever be thankful for being given the chance to know her. Her hard work on her (and our) family histories will ensure she will always be remembered with love and gratitude -- Helen Garth (Melbourne, Australia)

Katherine was always so positive and inspiring. She took an genuine interest in all around her and I will fondly remember her for her kind & caring ways and the love she brought to students in my class as a "nana helper". Truly one of the best. Thank you Katherine. Love to the family at this time. Big hugs Jan Collins
