Sorry to read of Dot's passing.
A great neighbour in Kaponga when we were young when our family played together with Dot and her siblings. Also we knew Barry, as his family were also living in Kaponga. I met up with Dot and Barry again as they supported my foodmarket on Brooklands Road in the 1960/70s.
Rest in peace Dot. You fully deserve it.
Cheers Don
