Mary & Alf were my parents close neighbours & best friends. We lived in 73, they lived in 67. Daughter Julie was the same age as me and we both attended Bondi Beach Primary. Mary had a cat called Lucky who had a writeup in the Woman's Weekly when he turned 21. When Mary in later life decided to buy a car, my father got the job of teaching her to drive. The little hair he had left turned even greyer.Mary was a very intelligent lady she worked for the Japanese Government for a long time & I'm sure made the office run smoothly. When Mary met Marcia for the first time they developed an instant raport. The last time we saw Mary was on her birthday in 2009 at Randwick. We still exchanded Christmas Cards until a couple of years ago. Mary's beautiful handwriting was finally getting shaky. Mary you will be missed. Peter & Marcia New Zealand
