Neville DONALDSON Obituary

We met Neville & Helen in the late 70's when we moved into Harris Rd. They were both so welcoming, inclusive, hard workers - true farming folk and a great help when it came to sorting out my young horse. Neville always gave of his time freely and will be sadly missed in the community.
Our thoughts go out to all the family at this very sad time and we're so sorry we were unable to be with you for Neville's last Rodeo.
Love to all - Julie & Tony Monk
