Dear Denis, Jeni and family - I'm so sorry to be so out of touch with you all. We absolutely loved Joan and Ray and were saddened to hear that Ray had passed away, always so lovely. Bruce and I visited him in his own home about 5 or so years ago and it was just neat to catch up with this engaging man again, so proud of his children and grandchildren. We would love to connect with you guys again. We are still farming in the Kurow area. My phone: 0211276757. Love and hugs to all, Christine & Bruce Nowell

Hi Denis and Jeni.
I have just watched the service of Ray. You have certainly done a fantastic send off for him. I am sure Ray and Joan will be watching on from above. They were both very special people, and I am lucky to have had them in my life. Try not to be too sad but focus on the love and joy they celebrated life with and remember the happy memories they brought to you and your family.
