Love, thoughts and prayers are with Debra, Terry, Annmarie and Sharon and families, on the passing of your dearly loved Mum, Loreto, now reunited with Ray.
We are so sad as we look down the paddock in Tower Hill at your former home, but will hold treasured memories of the wonderful neighbours the McDonough family were to us in our early years of marriage - you will forever hold a place in our hearts.

RIP Loreto
