6. Our thoughts and deepest condolences to Allison, Andrew, Christopher, Vanessa and Nicola. We lived next door to the family in the 1970s and have many happy memories of Barbeques, lazy summer days and Margaret’s incredible passion for her beautiful garden. Margaret even taught us Floral Art at Koroit Primary, and fortunately I still remember how to make a flower posy! May she be reunited with Ray, I hope they are enjoying (according to my mother) the best gin & tonics ever made. Vale.
