  2. Dear Leonie

    My partner Brendon and I had the privilege of meeting both Jim and you late last year at a birthday celebration in Heathcote. The lovely extended conversation we shared at the dinner table had an impact on me at the time and will be treasured even more now.

    I recall Jim’s initially quiet presence and engaging conversation being complimented perfectly when you joined us and we covered some interesting and lively topics. I recall Jim’s quiet humour, thoughtfulness and intelligence as well as his gentle smile and banter with you. It was obvious that you shared a very special partnership.

    I was so very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing.

    Brendon and I extend our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you and Jim’s extended family at this unbearable time.

    We will continue to keep you in our thoughts ongoing.
