Iain Moulson

Iain was a much loved father, husband, son and brother. He will be greatly missed. He will be remembered for his kindness, sense of adventure and love of his family.

Marilyn Coker

Marilyn LOVED her family and her beautiful yard and the myriad flowers and blooming plants she cultivated over her entire adult life. She was a beloved teacher to thousands of kids in the Greenville public school system and is remembered quite fondly by many. She was generous to a fault, feisty as hell, and quick to help anyone in need - whether it was financially, providing school supplies, or finding housing for hurricane victims who relocated to her home town. She was loving and kind, full of human faults, and an amazingly perfectly imperfect work in progress. She was LOVED and we will miss her terribly.

Crystal Hawley

Crystal was a bright, beautiful and spunky woman. She always knew how to lighten up a room. Everywhere she went she left her mark and many are left with broken hearts.

Cynthia Bahr

Cyndi was a loyal and loving aunt, sister, daughter, and friend . She was someone who cared deeply and gave everything she had, even if it meant she went without. She loved to sing out loud (&off key) as if one was listening, she knew how to rant joke like no one's business. Most importantly though she would do whatever she could for her family, family always came first to her. Although she may be gone now, she is not in pain anymore and that brings a little bit of peace just knowing that.

Paul Layton

Paul was a gentle, soft spoken Yorkshire man who made a home in Canberra for almost 45 years. He married Susan Kirkness and raised a family with 2 boys, Kirk and Paul. He later re-married to Carmel and continued his life adventures. These were numerous as he had a passion for exploring the winds through sail, powered planes and gliding. He was a keen reader and student of life, learning much about these hobbies as well as his love of growing things in his garden. As a tradesman, his skill with timber and many other building materials was exemplary. He built 2 family homes, the 2nd of which he lived in with Carmel to the end of his life. An exacting craftsman with a creative streak, he did some lovely wood-turning projects in his retirement years. He had a beautiful garden which even included a model train and a miniature stone bridge modelled off one back home in the UK. He was also a keen chess player and even learned classical guitar for a while. A poetry enthusiast and history buff, he enjoyed a good singalong around the pianola too. Which of course, he also used to restore for a few years. He certainly didn't match the stereotypical image of a builder! In his final days, the amazing staff and volunteers at Clare Holland House took such incredible care of him. They are a wonderful organisation and made sure someone was available to sit with him 24hrs a day 7 days a week. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Clare Holland House so they can continue to provide this exceptional service for other families and their loved ones. https://giving.handsacrosscanberra.org.au/.../in-memory...
