Ken, Ron and families - please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your dear Mum.... what a great age she was. Never easy to lose them but thank goodness for memories. We've been very lucky to have them in our lives for so long. She'll be up there with Don and the rest of the bowlers and their friends now, never alone.
Regards

A lovely lady. Dad worked with Don for many years and Elsie welcomed us to her home on several occasions. She was always so friendly and ready for a chat. My sincere sympathy.
