It is surreal and frustrating, especially for Colin, not to be there supporting his sisters especially Carol and Helen who have lived with Bessie all these years and nursed her through well over ten years of severe illness. We are grieving in this place and we know our daughters will take a strong role in helping as they say their last goodbye too. We knew there was a likelihood that this would happen while we were on this journey. We had a plan agreed before we left that Colin would return if we were still in Australia. Not to be and we now look forward to a memorial service at Maffra on our return. We are beaming our love up and over. This is a release for Bessie and for us all. We remember her as she was in full health, humour and vigour. And all she did for her family in the many years since her husband and our father Jack died. She was proud of her children and grand-children and was a quiet but strong woman. Twinkling blue eyes and a giggle with a wry sense of humour. Love you Bessie. Thank you Pelly and Carol.
