Hi cousins. Robins eldest daughter here. Just wanted to send hugs to you at your loss. I have very distinct memories of visiting Aunty Marie and Uncle Errol as a child and playing games in the sunshine of the backyard with the aviary. Happier times for sure. God bless you in your mourning. Jx

My condolences to Karen and Shane. I remember your mum as so smiling and welcoming in your Hood St home and I loved the Cockatoos. I too lost my wonderful mother a few weeks ago and it takes a bit of adjusting. We have been very lucky to have had them for so long. Take care. Warm regards Cheryl Harrison
