Leave a tributeDear Ros
I was saddened to hear of your Mum's sudden passing. I received the news from Graham Speirs my cousin.Our years of growing up at Balintore, knowing you, Gayle, Gwen and Jim will never be forgotten. There were so many fun things we did from riding our bikes to playing softball in the front paddock. When it was time for tea, our mum's used to call out wherever we all were.
Gwen was always very kind and generous to us.
Thinking of you and your family .
