Farewell Ava. I worked with Ava for a number of years in the mid 1960's in the dispatch office at Hodder and Tolley. Ava was a great worker and a lovely person.

To Heather, Fred & Ava's Family,
We were very sorry to hear of Ava's passing. We have very fond memories of Hodder & Tolley days. (Front Office) Working with Ava was always a laugh a minute, and the jokes with her husband Colin. Natalie & Doug used to love visiting them at the weekends and playing with their dog Charlie. They were both an inspiration to us.
Sorry we cannot attend the funeral.
Sincere condolences from Jenny, Graham, Natalie, Doug & Family.
