Dear Krystina, Elaine, Penny, Gina, Strat, Rita-Maria, Kelly and Tiffany.
Sending our condolences and wishing we could be with you all today as you celebrate the life of your wonderful mother. Remembered for her generous heart and commitment to St Bernard's and the wider community.
Very fond memories of a particular traditional coconut cake that often found its way to Washington Ave, when Elaine babysat! A personal favourite still today.
