Dear Martin,
Chris was someone who was very dear to our family and it is sad to hear she is no longer with us. We so enjoyed visiting her and she always loved showing us around her beloved Yorkshire. We were always so happy to see her when she came to Australia. We miss her in our lives.
We send our condolences and sympathy.
Jenny Biven and family members.

  • Hello Lorraine & Meredith, Thank you for taking the time to write those words. Christine always looked back fondly on her visits down under and - I think - always harboured a desire to go one last time which, sadly, was not to be She enjoyed taking you to her spiritual home of the Yorkshire Dales, which is where she requested her ashes to be scattered. Yours, Martin
