I miss your smiling face Mel and your beautiful warm laughter. I also miss our special cups of tea in your amazing garden or on your verandah with a quilt on our laps and Ted and the cats nearby. You're in God's loving arms now Mel, sleep peacefully my dear friend.

I will miss you Mel. I know that we can never have our childhood back at Grans when we played and walked in the bush from bullant pass (behind Aunty Beth's and Uncle Alberts ) and afternoon tea in the garden train trips to Newcastle playing croquet in the garden and roller skates on the verandah when we nearly pushed the side wall out by the dresser. I will always have the memories and that special feeling you get when you go to Gran's for the holidays. You are with her now and your mum, say hello for me love Di xx
