Dearest friends in NZ
We remember the wonderful times we had with Barry, Viv, Kaz and Matthew in our kitchen in Clifton Hill and whenever we could get together, we jumped at the chance. We loved your steam train stories too and we will never forget your wry humour, your beautiful and graceful style and your absolute joy of living. Thank you for the happiness you gave to all who knew you.

So sorry to hear about Barry's passing. Viv and Barry are the nicest people I know. They took me in and gave me a place to stay so I could be homely instead of living in motels for work. Viv cooks the most lovely food. They both did so much for their community. Sending love.
