  1. My heart goes out to my old workmate Graeme who worked so tirelessly beside his mother Gladys; especially after Ken passed away. It's just a few weeks ago that she cheerily greeted me with a grin at the Colac Hospital. It's just so sad that she couldn't fire up the old dragsaw to make it the final ton on the trailer of life.

  7. A special friend who we are already missing.
    Life in Barongarook will not be the same without Gladys Cropley who graced the district with her presence for many decades.
    We will remember her for the love and kindness she showed in our time of need.
    Sadly missed and forever loved.
    We will still see you over the road and smile at the memories. The scones, the fritters and cups of tea.
    And always the hugs!
    Our thoughts are with Graeme and family at this sad time.

  8. To Sue and Warren and families.
    My parents , John and Helen Healy from Terang thought the world of your parents Sue.
    They all enjoyed their old time dances together and my mum Helen, would love to catch up with Gladys for a cuppa when she came to Colac..

    I loved chatting to Gladys up the street and in the hospital.
    Such a great lady with a great dry sense of humour.

    May she RIP with Ken.

    Loving thoughts
