To the Curtain Clan,
My lasting memory of your mum was speaking to your mum in preparation for Kim´s wedding. It was her stories of Kim´s short lived acting career, that was the basis of my speech and the wee song on the day.
Love to all of you and the extended family at this time from me and mine.

Kathleen, Frances, Tracey, Kim & Helen - sendings lots of love to you guys in the sad loss of your mother.

Your mother was extremely proud of you all.
She was a fierce fighter in life and for the underdog. She was a very kind, gentle women who worked really hard all her life.

"Mrs Curtin" you were a `legend´ on DISRAELI ST. I have so many fond memories of our childhood growing up with the Curtin, Wright and Spurdle gang.

Rest easy Mrs Curtin, Pat (mum) and Helen will be there waiting for you for a long overdue catchup.
