    My Aunty Barb was an amazing woman, mother, wife, farmer, painter, traveller, volunteer & mentor. I have a deep love & affection starting from when I was a child, spending school holidays on the farm with her, Uncle Stan & cousins, some 60+ years ago through to my recent visits.
    RIP Aunty Barb.
