She was wonderful. Alison Kamphuis xo

    How saddened to hear this devastating news.
    As if it was yesterday, I can see and hear your infectious smile and laugh. You, me, Jess and Ingrid were a tight friendship group at CRC. I have many many happy memories of this time.
    Farewell my dear friend, may you be at peace.

  29. Who will be there to laugh at me and laugh with me?
    Who will get my humour and cringe when I call you Nickers at the top of my voice?
    Hopefully one day this pain will become just an ache, but I will always miss you and forever love you.
    Every time I look at your boys I will see you. You will never be truly gone.

I have fond memories of times spent at Phillip Island and backyard catch ups over the years. You were a very smart lady who always wore a beautiful smile & loved a good chat. You will be very sadly missed 😢 My thoughts are with Nic’s parents and her boys at this heartbreaking time. Rest easy Nic 🕊️❤️🙏
