  2. I have so many lovely memories of Win over the years. Sitting with her in church when we came to Timboon representing ECM and hearing her sing with Don beside her in unison…home to their place for lunch ( different places at different times)….wild mushroom picking, out with Caleb to see cows etc..always a beautiful meal well presented on dainty crochery.. wonderful chats about how the Lord had helped her.. lovely memories of VWCC days as well.I will miss her but look forward to seeing her again in heaven..

  3. “There’s within my heart a melody”
    These are words Win would have often sung, indeed,there was always a ‘melody of love’ expressed so graciously across so many years.
    Memories of sumptuous picnics on the banks of the Cann River, perhaps even then pointing to a much latter time when Don and Win lavished hospitality on international guests from all parts of the globe. Memories of Win’s solo’s at that small Noorambie Methodist church along the Cann Valley Highway still resonate today.
    To any casual observer, glancing around the walls of her beloved home, speak to the importance of family, yet supremely, her personal faith in Jesus stands above all.
    We applaud you Win and thank you for the gracious love you showed to all who passed your way.
    ” Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
    Sweetest name I know
    fills my every longing
    keeps me singing as I go.”

  4. Sincere sympathy to Derek and Ros, Carl and Kelly, Caleb, and their families.
    My children and I will dearly miss your Mum, as much as we miss your Dad. What a beautiful, gracious, Christian couple, now together in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
    I’ve been honoured to have grown up with them as part of our church family all my life, but to have had them love and nurture my own children in church since birth, has been such an honour. You are all in our prayers at this time xo

  6. Sincere and heartfelt love of sympathy AND rejoicing, for you all. Derek, Carl, Caleb and your families. Win was a dear Christian friend. We were the same age, married the same year. Her lovely singing voice, sense of humour and delicious baking were gifts she lovingly shared.

    Psalm 34:7-10

    The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

    Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

    Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no lack to those who fear Him.
    10 
    The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

    Amen
