Her devotion to family and Country included our family on the West Coast through her love and devotion to our now heartbroken brother and Uncle, Chris.
For five decades they have shared so much together and each has been an amazing support to each other with the contribution to their communities, especially Nancy's many hours of community service.
While deeply saddened to no longer have Nancy's 'voice of wisdom' at our fingertips or on the other end of the phone, or able to share another visit, we are extremely proud that her legacy has (and is) being publicly recognised so lovingly.
Thank you from the Graham clan in Rockingham, WA.

Minuscule components
This is psychologist Jordan Peterson's response to the typically rude and aggressive young climate change activist: 'Do you think you're worse off than your grandparents? Generally people have things that are more in their personal purview that are more difficult to deal that they're avoiding and that generally the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale issues so that they look good to their friends and neighbours.'
Yep. I wish I could have expressed this so eloquently.
IN OTHER NEWS:
That, and the normal but stupid need for many human beings to join a movement that makes them feel that their life is validated and that their pointless lives were created for a greater purpose.
They don't realize that they're just another minuscule and pointless component of a plague in a species that is destroying planet earth and that nature wasn't able to get into balance.

Despicable acts
Another appalling incident of Wedge Tail Eagle poisoning has occurred, this time near Violent Town.
The Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning investigated and found 76 eagles, plus other large birds, had been deliberately poisoned. This followed a similar case in East Gippsland last year where more than 100 eagles were poisoned.
Who are these people who are deliberately waging war against one of the most majestic birds on the planet? Community condemnation must come down heavily on such culprits with maximum heavy fines, hefty jail sentences, and public naming and shaming.
The Wedge Tail is already on the brink in many areas. De-forestation and land clearing has seen to that. Every decent Australian who has a love for nature and wildlife conservation should be outraged by such senseless and despicable acts.
