From childhood to adulthood, I remember Aunty Mary for her presence and the respect she commanded and deserved.
I’ve always admired the Tapp family’s unity and strength; it’s been an honour to witness.
Today is sad, but also a celebration of her life and the memories she leaves behind.
I’ll raise a glass to you, Mary, and to the family.
With kindest regards,
Ricky Molloy 🙏
