Guestbook

  1. To Lindsay and family. Graeme and I wanted to send our sympathy to you all. We remember when Glenyth brought us dinner after our first son Hayden was born over 37 years ago. That was so kind of her and such a blessing. We have always remembered it as she was the only one. Love and prayer to you all.
    Graeme and Leanne Hillas
