2. My deepest sympathy to Dimity, Donna, Kylie & their families. I have many fond memories of the good times we had with the whole family at Macarthur & Port Fairy.
   Especially those very memorable New Years Day luncheons.
   Don & Ilma were always so welcoming to all.
   John, Alan & I were only just talking about Ilma last week wandering how she was going, only to find out a few days later dear Ilma had passed away.
   Thinking of you all.

4. Dear Cameron family,

   I was very fortunate to see Ilma's notice in the Herald Sun newspaper, and would like to send our sincere condolences to you all.
   I was the teacher-in-charge of numerous visits to your Burando Farm at Macarthur (which we called the "Macarthur Hilton" !) in the 1980s.
   My three children visited Burando on different trips, and one son remembers Chris and Donna as individuals.
   I don't remember names as such, but I do remember one of you girls outsmarting me in some mischievous event!
   On behalf of the numerous students, plus my family, and fellow leader, Chris Shimmen, we want you all to know that we treasure our memories of Ilma (who gave us wonderful meals), and of course Don, for his generous welcome to your property.

   Please note that I have emailed a photo to Margaret at Guyetts from one of our visits, and supplied my phone number should you wish to respond to my message.

   Yours sincerely,
   Ralph Sinclair

7. My darling friend Dimmy, Peter, Donna & Damien, Daisy, Alice & Romy.
   I have many funny memories of Illy, as she did of me. Growing up and spending time down at Macarthur and Pt.Fairy with the family, are some of my best times. I will miss her smile, her cheeky laugh and dry wit. Keep giving it from the other side Illy and I'll see you later. My love hugs and kisses to all above. Gill & Rob Browne xx
