Rest in peace sweet Great Aunt. I’ll never forget the visits to your house as I was growing up. It’s been a long time since, but I always remember hearing you before seeing you when we called in. I still remember your voice clearly.
Much love.
Adeline you were such a legend. So many laughs cups of tea roast dinners with you and Digger and the family when we were teenagers. The advice and consolation when the boyfriend situation wasnt the best-plenty more fish in the sea girls! So much fun being with you and the family. You will be remembered and missed. Love to all the family

Ad was a special lady. I remember the first time I met her in Hoki and her washing and ironing my clothes even undies before I was out of bed. I remember her saying “get those mash spuds in to you girl” after a big night before with Stephen and Tony at the Railway. I remember her love and pride for you all. She was an amazing woman. Loved and welcomed everyone. She will be missed but will always be ever present in your hearts always. I will never forget her.
Love Mary McMillan xx
