So very sorry to read of Fay´s passing. Bayne & I considered Fay and Tony to be two of our great friends right back from school days. Fay was my almost twin celebrating our birthdays just one day apart. Fay Tony and Bayne will be having a reunion `up there´ I am sure. But my sincere condolences to Michael Kerry & Megan, you will be missing your Mum so much. She so loved all her family.

My deepest condolences to Michael, Kerry and Megan. I wish I could be with you today to farewell your wonderful Mum. Fay and Fossil have always been dear to my Mum and Dad (Joy and Stan) and to me. Always caring, always kept in touch and always supportive. So many great memories over more than half a century. Thank you Fay. With love, Paul.
