Your mum was a big part of our growing up at Willowbrae and a great friend to our mum.
We cannot be with you in person but we will be thinking of you all as you share your memories of a lovely lady.

Rest in God's arms Auntie Isobel. You were always such a loving figure and loved by everyone. No one could ever make millionaires shortbread like you. My condolences to Kenneth and family. Love from all my family in South Africa.

Our love thoughts and prayers go out to Ken, Gillian and the family. Isobel was a wonderful lady who Heather and I loved dearly. She and Maurice welcomed us into their home from our early engagement right to our 40th anniversary. Sleep in Gods arms Auntie Isobel.
