The Family would appreciate if you could leave a message to be put into a book of condolences for the family.
Dear Catherine & Christopher, and families. We are so saddened to know that Babs has passed. She was a wonderful Aunt. She was kind and caring, gentle and pleasant. I loved her quirky cheeky personality. She made me so welcome when I brought Ina back home 12 years ago. She was simply a delight. But as sad as it is that she has passed, it is bitter sweet, I am glad that she has passed on so to be welcomed into the arms of her loving husband, and her mother, father, brothers etc. Quality of life is so important, and once you have lost it, it is time to move onto something simply brilliant. She was a firm believer in the Lord, and my guess is that she is already having a grand old laugh up there with everyone. If Ina knew, I know she would be devastated, but we have withheld Bab’s passing from her. In mums current state, we do not see any point in making her so sad to know Babs has passed. She would not remember anyway, so we will continue to send Bab’s video’s etc., from Ina on a regular basis. I truly wish you all the very best, and special call out to Catherine. You have been the most amazing daughter to your Mam. She was so lucky to have you in her life. Now its time for you to enjoy the rest of your life with your beautiful family. Your Mam was so proud of you. Take care to all of you. Love always, your cousin Trish from Australia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoox
