Condolences to the family on the passing of Margaret, both Colin and Margaret were very special people, Both giving us fond memories in their days living on Double Corner Road in Amberley, Colin got me into the Amberley Lions Club at a young age where he was a great mentor. Colin didn't miss many fundraising working bee's with Margaret more often than not turning up and supplying the morning tea's to the volunteers, and feeding the troops at the debrief after the working bee's!. On Colins passing the Lions club mounted his bone handled knive ( Colin used to butter 1,000's of loaves of bread for fundrasing bbq's) to a trophy which is still held in high respect and handed out annually at the Lions change of officers ceromony to a Lions member who goes over and above for the club and community. "The Colin Best Award". RIP Margaret.

Our condolences to all the family.
Margaret was a hard working diligent employee for many years at Seavale Farm in Amberley working in conditions that would not appeal to many folk. She was still working when others would have retired.
We appreciated her dedication and efforts.

We send our condolences to you all. I have great memories of family visits to see Aunty Margaret and Uncle Colin. Aunty Margaret stayed in touch with Mum (Molly) regularly and we always had updates of family news.
