Dear Martin and family, I am sending condolences and love at this sad time.
Your mom was a tower of strength and her memory of her life and the people in it was amazing. I loved all the visits we had especially the surprise one for her 90th.
She did so much for my mum over the years and was a loyal friend to her.
I loved her alot and will miss her. A great loss for all.

Auntie Dos will missed by many of us family in Australia. Especially me. She was the matriarch of the Forbes family for many years.
I have fond memories of Auntie Dos visiting Australia quite often since I was 12 years old. I always told her I am her favourite and best looking nephew. I loved the fact that she never argued. It was usually a laugh and punch in the arm. I guess meant that she agreed???
To Martin and Harald and extended family, my deepest condolences to you all.
Luv from Iain & Micucia
