Dearest Briar. Such a a courageous lady. You fought so hard to try and get back to golf but unfortunately it wasn't to be. I spoke to you only a couple of weeks before you passed and admired your strength. The ladies at Chamberlain Park Golf will miss you Briar. Rest in peace dear lady.

When I think of Briar, I see her kind smile and a twinkle in her eye.

Sincerest sympathies to Neil and family from an "old" workmate of Briar. I had the pleasure of working with Briar at WHS Nixon Consulting Engineers and at LJ Fisher & Co circa 1965.
