To all of our ‘Aussie family’, who we have got to know over the years – we share in your sorrow. From when I started writing to Christine in 1961 she has always been a dear friend, and our more recent meetings with Christine and Peter and all the family over the past 20 years have been amazing. Christine was always on our wavelength, ready to make the best of everything, and it has always felt like we’ve been friends for ever. It was a pleasure to be Christine’s friend, and to be part of her family, and we will always treasure our lovely memories of our holidays in the UK, Greece and Australia. With all our love, Carol and Jim xxx

Peter, our heartfelt sympathies to you and your family, we are deeply saddened to hear of Christine’s passing. We met only five years ago on a trip to China and became instant friends, sharing a love for travel, good food and drinks and Australian Rules Football.

Dear Peter, Stephen, Geoff, Louise, Kat, Nicole and family,
It’s still very hard to believe that Chris is no longer with us in the flesh. As we were reminiscing memories of the many decades we shared some came to mind like sharing our piano teacher in our teens, going out with brothers and sharing many family Sunday lunches in our twenties, next decade came our children who didn’t have to go far for a play mate, we’ve shared Weddings, Funerals and of late grandchildren, so many memorial moments shared and remembered.
All our love and thoughts from Jan, Noel, Jenna & Dean and Lachie & Brinelle King xxxx -
To Dear Phil, Janine, Robert, John, Michael and family,
Sending you our heartfelt condolences. We are forever linked to the Boyd family through Chris and have enjoyed many a family function together with wonderful memories. Sorry we can’t all be together tomorrow to say our farewell and celebrate Chris’ life but I’m sure we shall get a chance in the future.
Love from Janice, Noel, Jenna, Lachie and family xx -

Go Cats!!! -
Dearest Peter, Stephen, Geoffrey, Louise, Katherine, Nicole and families
I still can’t quite believe that Christine has left us, my heart goes out to all of you.
I remember when I was young I would ride my bike up to Christine and Peter’s and Chris would let me cook any type of confectionary my heart desired! She had a brand new kitchen and she would help me make toffees, honeycomb and her favourite seems to be iced coconut. It would leave a terrible mess but she was always so good about it!
It’s so nice to read all of the tributes, Chris was so involved in the community which was great to see.
I’m sorry you have lost a wife and mum, who sadly can never be replaced.
Time will bring you peace.
All my love,
Jane, Jeremy, Coco, Louis and Remy xxx -

To my dearest big sister,
Can’t believe you are not on earth with us now. Keep playing it over in my head what happened. Missing you to the moon and back. You were the best big sister any brother could wish for. Miss your politics, even the fact you were barracking for the cats. You loved your cats, and I don’t believe I’m saying this but I hope the cats can bring it home for you this year.Rest in peace, back with mum & dad and the crew
Love Michael
