Dear John, I was not able to be present at Alison’s farewell yesterday as I had an appointment with the physiotherapist at the same time.
However I want you to know I am sorry for your loss and may her memory be a blessing to you always.
I will never forget the many good times Harry and I were privileged to have with you both during the time we lived in Melbourne.
With my deepest sympathy. Elaine ♥️

Our computer broke down (in sympathy?) two minutes into the service but we are pleased to have watched now instead of 2 a.m. in England. It set in motion many thoughts of our dear sister in law and the times we shared. It was always a pleasure to be in her company and even more to be fed by her (says Roger. It was an honour to have known her. With fond memories. Pat. and Roger
Such a lovely service beautifully put together Thankyou John and family for sharing it with us in U.K.

A memorable tribute to Alison, a lovely lady who lived life to the fullest and will be sadly missed by many friends, including members of Ringwood Clocktower Probus Club. Condolences to John, Tanya, Justin, Alexis, and extended family from Trevor Hudson.
We are grateful to have known Alison as a neighbour and friend for the last two years. It was a beautiful memorial to her. She was a great but humble lady who we admire very much for her life well lived and for her selfless contributions to her family and the community. We will miss her very much.
Our thoughts are with you John and also with your family.
With warm regards
Ian and Jill Turnbull
Deepest sympathy John and Family. Thank you for the opportunity to share in Alison’s Thanksgiving Service.
Alison will be greatly missed at the many Probus functions she attended, especially our Thursday Book Club.

Condolences to John, Alison’s siblings, children and grandchildren for having to say goodbye. We have so many happy memories over the last 50 years and feel the privilege of having known the wonderful woman who was wife, mother, sister, grandmother and also friend to all of us who knew her even for a short time.
She will indeed be much missed but memories live on of how she enriched our lives.
I thank John and family members for streaming this wonderful and warmly loving service. As a newish member of Clocktower Probus, I unfortunately missed knowing Alison in full flight. However, I regard myself as fortunate to be able to share stories of her life today. What a wonderful lady!
Thank you for the opportunity to share in Alison’s farewell. We shared the love and togetherness from Dalby in Queensland.
It was a fitting celebration of a special person’s life.
Marg and Herb Detez
To John & Family,

We will raise a glass to Alison later in the day to toast her memory.

Dear John, Tanya, Justin, Alexis and families
I have just had the honour of watching Alison’s celebration of life. What a wonderful service.
John you must be very proud of your children and grandchildren. Everyone spoke so beautifully of their reflections of an amazing and inspirational lady.
Even though I couldn’t be there it was lovely to see you all again.
My hope is that your happy memories will carry you through the sad times ahead.
Kindest regards to you all.

A wonderful service, a lovely tribut to darling Alison from all her family, friends and her Church. I really feel as though I have been with you! So many happy memories sharing your family time in Melbourne, we feel very much part of your extended family! – specially having so many sailing activities in common all the way from West Mersea to Australia!
Thank you so much for the streaming, enabling us to share Ali’s lovely service
with you all, Greg
That was a beautiful and fitting service, very thoughtful. So many happy memories that you (and we) all have, it was lovely to hear them, I’m sure you will cherish them. I fondly remember our trips to see you, the boat adventures, her generosity, and we always knew Alison would put on a fabulous feast. Always busy, but still had time for us. And loved the one-handed cooking 🙂 I’m sorry that we can’t be with you at this difficult time, but know that we are thinking of you all.
Much love,
Andrew (nephew, Godson)
A fitting tribute to a wonderful and gentle lady.
We have been left with great memories.

Beautiful service for a wonderful lady. Will be sadly missed by all. Glad we were able to follow the service from Carnarvon, WA
