  2. One word to describe my postie is a “character”. She loved a laugh and a great prankster. A loving warm and compassionate woman who mothered all her kids friends at any time of day. Her big smile was always contagious and the love of her garden was infectious. I will miss her dearly.

  16. Condolences to you all, Rodney, Sharon, Louie and Kelly. Yvonne was a genuine live wire. Always up for some mischief but also hard work. For someone who hardly seemed to rest, now is time to catch up and reconnect with some old friends and family. Hopefully they have plenty of coffee for you too. We will miss you and your cheeky manner. RIP Brian
