Rhonda’s presence will be greatly missed on the green. Even with her health struggles she was willing to come down and give us the “goss”. Her boundless energy was something to look forward to whenever she was present. We are all happy to have played bowls with her and to have known her.
Thank you to you legends. You brought Mum so much joy, purpose and such a great sense of community in the short time she was a member. Thank you for embracing her so warmly. She loved that club. Kindest regards, Jen, Leah and Lyndsay. xx
I count myself lucky to call her my cousin. We had some wonderful times together when we were younger. So many happy memories. She was a very special person and loved by everyone. Our deepest sympathy to her family and friends. Love from the Nestor family. 💕
Thanks, Barry. Cousins are the best. Keep well, Lyndsay, Jen and Leah. xx

Thanks so much, Fran and family. We talk about the netball years often, too. That orange uniform can never be forgotten! Tough days for us but we’re a close unit and we’ll get each other through. We’ll miss them forever but there is comfort in knowing they are together. Take care, Leah, Jen and Lyndsay. xx
