Dear Aunty Wina, June, Ian and families.
Fondest memories of living with Aunty Wina & Uncle Lew when they took in 3 little children, nieces & nephews while Aunty Wins sister Marion had complications having baby number 4 (Raelene) all after June & Ian had flown the coop. Uncle Lew was a tricker, don't eat the laxettes when they were actually chocolates & l am sure l did sneek a few.
Sincerest condolences to all the family, a truly wonderful man & inspiring man. xxxx
Much love Leanne & Barry Miller, QLD.August 13, 2020 2:19 pm

Happy memories of times spent with Lew and Wina on their farm, I used to go out and help clean. Spent more time having cuppas and chats, then going home with eggs, produce, and baked goodies, from which the recipe was shared that I still make today. Lew was an awesome gentleman, so much go in him, I thought he’d live forever, still doing farm jobs into his 100’s. But 95 was a good innings, RIP Lew. Pleasure to have known you. Much love and sympathy to Ian and June and all of the family.
