7. Dear Barb. I’m so glad I got to visit you last year with Alex, in Warrnambool, at your house. My Warrnambool mum. I got to see you a lot when I lived there and I have many fond memories of that time with you and Fred. I’m so glad Dave and I are still regularly in touch. My thoughts and love are with you and your lovely family. I do hope you are resting in peace. With love, John Candlish

8. My sincere sympathy to Michael and David. I have many happy memories of working with Barb and Fred at
   St John's Port Fairy. Barbs personality and work ethic inspired others to friendship, fellowship and laughter. I treasure the times the St John's Committee spent 'communing with nature' at Halls Gap.
