Dear Pauline, Stephen, David and Suzette
Deepest condolences on the passing of your Mum, a respected and kind neighbour who was part of our lives for so long including the very important events of our lives and being part of that close knit neighbourhood. I can still picture the inside of the Stuart Street house, and her voice and laugh as she watched us grow. Her skills are remembered including the gorgeous 21st and wedding cakes she made for me..
Sadly we often don’t get to say goodbye personally and unfortunately we will not be able to make it to the funeral. Not sure if Mum or Dad (Murray & Noel Popham) will be able to make it now either but I’m certain they will be thinking of you all as we will be.
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

My sincere sympathy to all Laurels family. Unfortunately I am unable to attend the service but will be thinking of everyone.

Our condolences on the loss of your beautiful mother, mother in law and grandmother. Laurel was a much loved aunt, and will always be remembered.
Thinking of you all. We are sorry we are unable to be with you at this time.
