So very sorry to hear of your Dad&&single&&s passing, Julia. It sure has been a tough year. Mum&&single&&s best friend of over 70 years, Isabel Jeffray, passed away on Sept 14, just 5 days short of her 91st birthday.
Have been meaning to give you a call, so will do so, once things quieten down somewhat.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.
