To Alec and Di's family. As former President of Avonhead Tennis Club, I can speak, I am sure, for all our club members and previous club members who knew Di, in offering our sincere condolences. Di was a vibrant, contributing member of our sports club for many years (at least 10 that I know of... but maybe closer to 20 years) and was the club secretary for 3 years. Di was also a member of our ladies premier mid-week competition team. We were all disappointed when Di made the silly decision to replace tennis with golf!
Di was a vital and lively club member, and no doubt delivered her warmth and vitality to the family and all friends. Kindest regards Clive
