Chris, Nigel and Tim and families, our thoughts are with you all. Remembering our Canasta and Trivial Pursuit evenings a long time ago now and the friendship of our children when we lived in Papakura.

Jill & Chris. Thanks for the memories and good times we've shared. On road trips, fabric hunts, so many laughs and silly stories, scones by the sea, and crosswords solved on the bus.
Quilt buddy forever. Love Jill & Rod W.
