  15. Anne Perkins & George Ryan says:

    We were so sorry to hear of Hanne’s passing, which happened while we were overseas, preventing us from being able to attend her funeral. We have many happy memories of evenings spent with Hanne and Gerry at the Catholic church in Newstead and Sandon. It was always a pleasure to talk to Hanne – she was a gentle, kind and delightful lady. Deepest sympathy to Gerry and all the family.
