Tributes
Leave a tributeOh Aunty Betty. So sad to hear you have passed. Only a year earlier we exchanged a letter. I remember fondly the years we spent a Crayfish Bay. Of Uncle Jim building the shack on top of the cliff (we all thought it would get blown away). Of your dog Rip.
On behalf of all the Dunstan family and to all of your extended family we will miss both you and Jimmy. Rest peacefully.January 11, 2024 8:06 pm
Deepest condolences to Aunty Betty’s family and friends.
Thank you Aunty Betty for welcoming me into your home. I really enjoyed our catch ups. Thanks for the memories.
I still have a pair of socks you knitted.
You never forgot Mikeellie’s birthday, every year there was a card in the mail.
May you Rest In Peace with Uncle Jim.

Aunty Betty thank you for being a generous, loving and caring Aunty to my family for so many years.
You would ask how the boys are going, how’s work and about life in general in our chats.
I remember my twelfth birthday was coming up and you asked me what colour jumper l would like.
I picked out an orange colour with a brown fleck through it, you asked me if I was sure of the colour.
Sure enough it was given to me all wrapped upon my birthday, like the nieces and nephews on their birthdays over the years.
I remember the annual Christmas lunches for the Howard family , they were great days with your all the brothers, sisters, nieces and nephewsRest In Peace Aunty Betty and say hello to Uncle Jim from us all
Love always

Aunty Betty, you were the elder of the Colac Family and it will never be the same without you in our lives. So kind, quick with the wit and generous to a tee. To say you will be missed is a massive understatement. All the early years of our lives were filled with you at 8 Brown St.
Its a sad day to have to say good bye to you, its the end of a great, great era.
Love always,
Tony Howard
