To all the family - your mum was such an important person in my mum and dads lives. If there was any thing happening it would be invite Cleo. She was a long time loyal and caring friend. Always had a smile. Always such a gentle woman. Always had that chuckle. I loved her company. And such strong memories of the time in Waitara. The ginger beer. The cosy dining area. The painting of Pania of the Reef.
Cleo had an unwavering commitment to people she cared about and I saw that with her relationship with mum and dad. If there's a party going on up in heaven then your mum and dad and my mum and dad will be sitting at the same table.
God bless Xxx

Our beautiful kind loving Cleo, a most wonderful friend of Miny and Leo, who with family, never forgot her friends.
I can't be there to celebrate her life but I will be thinking of you all. She was so special to us all, first thing was her opening the door and getting the homemade ginger beer from under the stairs! She was a constant presence in our lives even though she was a quiet unassuming person, she was there for everyone. On her way to Your Dad ❤
