Dearest Sister Sue. We are so lucky that we had lots of fabulous memories that we could always look back on & laugh about. You were an amazing sister who was always there for me & was able to teach me things once I was ready to learn like making Mum´s tomato sauce which everyone still loves. We were so lucky that we were all brought up loving the beach which ended up with us all being at Hahei & Cooks which meant we got to spend lots of special times together with all our extended families. RIP darling sister which is what you deserve. Until we meet again. Lots of love Cathy, Ben Dellow & Families XXXXX
