    I will remember you sitting at your mother’s kitchen table, reading her Herald-Sun & enjoying a chat & laugh, while enjoying a morning coffee made with love.
    I liked our recent chats over the phone. You sharing having been out in the garage trying to do something , having to allow extra time if going down the street, for those stopping you for a chat & us sharing how we’d worked out certain questions on the 1% Club. Being open to me sharing about our Lord Jesus Christ , salvation.& being open to you & family being prayed for .
    So glad ,l caught up last year at your Mum’s birthday.
