I am Ngaire Rollinsons daughter - Janice's friend
Such a long time since I have seen you all but my love and kind thoughts are with you all at this sad time
As a child I remember John as one of the big boys who was so good to all the little ones in the family
Many happy memories
Kindest regards Ellena

...Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...
William Wordsworth

Pleasant memories. Our sympathy to Kirsty & family.

Kirsty, My thought are with you and the family. I thought of you earlier this week, and that I hadn't found time to visit you and John at Strathallan over the last year. Love to all Jenny Lamont (nee Bailey)
