I always called Iris my Kiwi mum and while I haven´t seen her for years, I have such beautiful memories of her and Charlie opening their home to this stray Aussie. Incredible human and we are all privileged for knowing her and being in her orbit. She made a huge mark in this world with Charlie and has an amazing family as their legacy. Christine Shaw, Canberra
