To Ricky and family, so sad to hear of the passing of your mum Janet. She was so kind and welcoming to us when we moved to Colac in 1978 and got involved with the South Colac Football Club. A wonderfull lady who will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

How do you say goodbye to someone who has been around all of my life, you can’t. But what you can do is hold onto the memories and remember them, in a word or a sentence, a place or a moment but most of all in your hearts.
Loved and adored mother of Ricky, mother in law of Wendy, adored nana of Bek and Hayls. And of course Buddha
Forever in our hearts
