Condolences to all the Cunningham family. Your Mum was a lovely lady always on the lookout for those around her. Great memories of growing up at Hastings St, Wilsons Rd and Bond St intersection...always felt a bit ironic that Catholics were all around the hideous Baptist church and hall which are, thankfully, no longer there.

To an old lost friend along with all of your family.
Kev, I offer our deepest condolences with the passing of your Mum.
I still remember her from 50 odd years back when I used to stop in so we´d walk to school together.
Gosh... time fly´s by fast huh?
Should you need a hand or an open ear, I´m still around.
I´m sure your Mum was very proud of you all and now she can rest easy.
Wishing you good health mate. Never forgotten you.
Regards,
Gregg Sincock.
