Bereavement

It is with great sadness that I learned today that my great friend Pat Chapple passed away yesterday a ernoon. Pat and David and Mike and I all arrived in Dunolly about 35 years ago and set up businesses at around the same me, and we have been firm friends ever since. We shared so many experiences together including wedding anniversaries, dinner par es, community events and joint family get-togethers. Pat was always very much a part of my life and I will miss her dearly. Deepest sympathy to David, Amanda and Anthony and their extended family.

Dear Editor,

Cynthia Lindsay

Anzac Day is a day for Victorians to reflect upon the sacrifices of the servicemen and women who so bravely defended our na on and to get involved in local community events celebra ng these efforts.

We honour the memory of the ANZACs and all those who have served and sacrificed in defence of our na on, our values, and our way of life.

It was wonderful to see the crowds of people, young and old, turn out to services held in communi es across our region last week to pay their respects to our veterans, current and future servicemen and women.

I had the pleasure of a ending the dawn service in Landsborough and morning services in Streatham and Skipton, followed by a Two Up compe on and ANZAC Biscuit compe on in Stockyard Hill.

I also made representa ons at numerous other services, including Dunolly’s dawn service where a wreath was laid on my behalf.

While Anzac Day means different things to different people, and we all have different ways to commemorate and reflect on this day – each of these services honoured the memory of those who served and lost their lives.

So, let us remember the ANZACs and all those who have fallen in the line of duty. Let us also think of their families, friends and loved ones who have shared their burdens and grief.

And let us reflect on the enduring quali es that the ANZACs embodied, such as loyalty, selflessness, courage, mateship, and sacrifice. Lest we forget.
