Roz - I loved working with you at Ray White Cashmere - especially the sing-offs in our open plan office!! You lit up the room each & every time you entered. Your Celebration of Life today was so "you" !! I could feel you in every aspect of it....... Your dignity & grace particularly this last year was of no surprise to me. I loved watching you sing and play the Bassoon for Richard & Mary when I was the Celebrant for their Wedding at the Great Hall. Rest in peace - you deserve to xxxx
