Nola and Larry were good friends with my Mum, Eve through St John´s church Harewood Rd.
Dean was in my class at Casebrook.
Condolences to the Mannis families on the loss of Nola.

I spent lots of wonderful weekends at the Mannis homestead back in my early teens with Tania my best buddy back then. I always loved staying at their beautiful home in Crofton Rd. Lovely family dinners and lots of baking. Nola made my wedding dress for me. Spending many hour hand stitching beads and lace onto the dress. I wish you all well during this sad time, but also good time as you all gather together and share your stories and memories. Big hugs.
