From Papa and Grandma:

Mandy accepted Jesus as her Lord and Saviour in the summer of 2004 at 12 years of age. The late Reverend Ron Hooper baptized Mandy and Grandma in the water of Echo Lake. She was pronounced a “Born Again” Christian and continued to believe in those ways throughout her life. We firmly believe she is now safe in the Arms of Jesus and we are comforted knowing that we shall see her in Heaven one day.

Please join us in celebrating her life and paying our respects.
