Foster Family, my deepest sympathies to you on the passing of Rio. I have many fond memories of a wonderful mother & family who shared love and kindness towards me. A family who welcomed me into their home, on outings, experience's, took me to church and a holiday at the river. Rio was a truly special person and her memory will live on in you all.

I was very sorry to hear of Rio's passing. I worked with Rio when I was the palliative care nurse and she took over the role from me. Her kind, caring manner endeared her to so many. She was a special person. My thoughts are with Gordon and family at this sad time.
