To Geoff, Sherry and Michael, my thoughts are with you on your mum's passing. "Aunty Sheila" was a favorite as I grew up. Stay overs at the Kerr's punctuated by Sheila's joyful laughter, her tinkling on the piano, bowls of white peaches, blossom festival float building on the driveway, concerts in the Alex hall, bicycle riding and first aid for a spectacular crash. Sheila was a truly wonderful person I will always remember her fondly.. Best wishes to you all. Sorry I cant be with you Bruce Miller Wanaka
