4. Fondest memories of dear Aunty Clare. It was always a joy to visit her whenever we were in Victoria. We always enjoyed our long phone calls with her, where she could recall so many details of family history, and all the activities going on around her. Her beautiful smile and laugh will always be remembered.
   May her dear soul rest in peace.
   Ron, Christine Williams and family.
