KELLY, Jennifer Ann
Farewell Jennie Kelly.
Born 15 May 1936.
Our wild and wayward mother died on 28 October 2024. She refused to say "passed."
We spend most of our lives compensating for our upbringing said Jennie.
She believed that exposing youth to religion was a form of child abuse. It was impossible to watch the news in her presence due to her vocal outrage at the way the country is run. She held John Howard in particular contempt.
Mum grew great dope, never wanted to leave a party and gave up champagne or gin frequently, but never simultaneously.
Her rare attempts at "responsible" parenting or grandparenting were always touching. She said Sean was a much better driver than Chris.
News on what's next to follow.
Bring a shovel.
