Dear Damien
Deepest condolences to yourself and family in respect of the passing of your mother. Sheila was the wonderful legal secretary for my father George Palmer for many years in Whanganui and looked after his wellbeing following retirement. We enjoyed contact with Sheila over many years and looked forward to her cheerful welcomes when visiting her home in Springvale. She was enormously proud of her family in Ireland. Our best wishes for times to come. Your mother will remain in our memories with fondness and gratitude.
Ken and Vivienne Palmer. Auckland
