Yesterday

Sorry Richard. We are heading up to Nelson and won't be able to attend the memorial service.
It is such a sad time for you and your family. Mums play such a precious part in our lives but we will always keep part of them in our hearts. I hope the happy memories you have of her will help a little as you face the coming days with her passing.
All the best Richard. Hope to catch up soon.

Wes
