Guestbook

My deepest condolences to you Judith and Phillip and your families on the passing of your dear dad. I have very fond memories of Dave (Mr Dewar) from growing up on Delph Street. I remember his kind, caring, funny and intelligent nature. He always made me feel welcome at your house, and he was such a lovely man. Thinking of you all, lots of love from Lillian, Ronald, Siko and Arnold Parr. 💝💖💝💖
