  3. To dear Rod & your beautiful family
    We are thinking of you so much at this very sad time. I had the honour of knowing Steph since 1981 as my nursing mentor and friend. I will cherish so many memories of our days together. I feel so sad that we can't be at the funeral as we are overseas. Please know that you are all in our hearts. Bless Steph, there is no doubt that she made our lives so much better.
    with so much love
    Carmel & Kevin
