Ms GREEN (Yan Yean) (10:09): Today I would like to acknowledge the passing of a lovely constituent of mine, Barbara Kirkbride. Barbara passed away recently as a resident at Estia Health in Wattle Glen. She was a much-loved community member of Diamond Creek and Wattle Glen. She is now safe in Ron’s arms and no doubt having a cup of tea with him. We will all look forward, those who loved Barbara and her family and Ron, to having a memorial ceremony at Ellis Cottage in Wattle Glen. Both Ron and Barbara spent a lot of time building up the gardens there. They were life members of the Nillumbik Historical Society and Ron was the founding captain of the Wattle Glen CFA. They were also very active in the Diamond Valley Gem Club. My deepest condolences to Barbara’s children and family and friends.
