A beautiful lady reunited with some special people. We were neighbours in Inverloch for many years and I had the privilege of mowing the grass for you for a long time, you had the best rose garden in the district, many would drive past and admire the beautiful colours. You always treated people with kindness and respect, even before you left this world. I have always called you Mrs Nic, you insisted for years I call you Grace, but I just couldn’t do that… Farewell Mrs Nic… I know there is a rose garden with a view for you in heaven. Thinking of Janice & Eric, Graeme & Cheryl, Jamie & Judy, Peter & Abby, Wynette & Trevor and the family.

In Loving Memory of our dear friend Grace. An elegant and cheerful lady with great humour and captivating Storyteller of her growing up in Kongwak and days gone by. Grace was always willing to share her beautiful roses and delicious cooking and to show concern for others. Grace has been not only a member, but a loyal friend and stalwart of Inverloch Legacy Widows Club for many years and will be greatly missed. Our sincere sympathies are extended to Janice, Graeme, Jamie, Peter, Wynette and their families. Lest We Forget.

  In memory of our much loved Aunty Grace.
  From my early holidays up on the Kongwak farm, to visits at Inverloch where there would always be three or four different slices to have with a cuppa and an enjoyable conversation. Our thoughts are with Janice, Graeme, Jamie, Peter, Wynette and their families.
  Love from Geoff. & Lynette Measom.

My sweet, beautiful Grace!
I am so honoured that I was able to care for you at Hillside. I loved sitting in your room looking at the hills and admiring your little garden that Pete made you.
We never had nothing to talk about and so many times our bladders made our eyes leak. I am so thankful that I got to nurse you but I will forever be thankful that I had you as a friend. I will continue to say goodnight to you when I put my glasses in their case that you gave me. I’m sorry we couldn’t be at your funeral but you will know why Grace, I love you xxxx love always Lisa Brown
