Mum it´s been almost 4 weeks since we lost you and our pain is unbearable. You will be so happy to know that Alex made his choice. Thank you so much to you and Dad for bringing my children up to be the incredible young men they are today. I miss you so so much and if I can be even 1% of the person you were I will be a decent person. As your favorite hymn says Give me a heart, a heart that´s true, I will always try to have a heart that was like yours. I love you and am trying to keep your last wishes for me. You were the best Mum anyone could ever have wished for. And I see that in my children all the time. I love you always and forever xxxx

Being neighbours for over 25 years after buying a couple of paddocks from us. We saw and heard (motorbikes) your kids and grandkids grow to be a family to be very proud of. Neila was a very kind and generous neighbour. Sad her time has come. Will be a tough time now for John, Lyndel, Wade, Boyd and her two grandchildren. Our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time - Peter and Trish Bellringer

50 years of wonderful memories.The recipes you shared with me have now been passed on to my grandchildren. Those amazing flavours will live on for a very long time. Your relishes and pickles are made every year and are firm favourites. The time we spent as teenagers driving for Dobby are such happy memories too.Your family meant everything to you and a great matriach has left them. The love and the values you instilled in them will be with them all forever. You will be rembered with so many loving thoughts. I will miss you my friend. Thoughts are with the family at this time. Fly high Neila. A rest well earned. Daryl.
