Tributes

  1. Chris was a remarkable aunt. Full of kindness and laughter. My childhood was memorable for the visits and stays at Narimberook. The oasis that her and Alan made and the menagerie of animals and birds made for great adventure. Greatly missed.

  2. Dear Bill and Tim, we are so so very sorry about your loss. Thank you so much Bill, that you let us know about Chris passing away and that you called us in Germany today!

    We had an almost life long friendship with Chris and Alan since we met the Two back in 1988 on a cruise to the Barrier Reef. Although we there "just" met for a day we kept our friendship as penpals over all these years and even managed to once again meet each other in Australia years later.

    We will miss them and my penpal Chris for sure for the rest of our lifes.

    Enjoy your step over the rainbow and meet Alan again dear Chris!

    With all our love

    Gundi and Juergen
    with Miriam and Robin

  3. We’ve kept in touch over 47 years, and her laughter will stay with me forever. A wonderful life of dedication to Narimberook where her garden and parklands were immaculate. I’ll miss Chris and our catch ups and wish her dearest Bill deepest sympathy for the passing of his beloved mother.
