Remembering Meryl in the late 70's early 80's where we worked together at Tait, Ward, Adams & Murdoch. Meryl was so much fun. Your smile and personality was infectious.
One memory comes to mind after a few drinks at the office, on the last day of work for the year.
We had visited a few businesses around town to spread the Xmas cheer and were heading to the Don Lodge in my A30. Meryl in the front yahooing out the window as we passed some sailors walking along Dee St. You can only imagine....!!
It was always good to hear what Meryl was up to when we saw Cossie.
Thinking of you all ,Meryl's family and sending our condolences.
RIP Merylxx
