A woman of great sensitivity and good humour, she always brought the sunshine with her.

NWG Inc and FAW Poets with Luciano Mesiti
NWG Inc poets Barbara Fern and Brian Bell joined with Lyn Leerson from FAW Parramatta and read poetry for Library Lovers Day at Parramatta Library.
Not surprisingly, one day after Valentine’s Day, the emphasis was on lurve and romance.
The lead artist was wonderful singer song-writer Luciano Mesiti who is a popular guest at Parramatta Library.
Luciano (far right) sang a combination of old favourites and his own songs ending with “Love is in the Air”.
Barbara (far left) read her story in sonnets about a bored toddler who lights upon a hidden family romance.
Brian (second right) entertained us with his dry humour on contemporary life.
Lyn (centre) read two love poems by FAW writer Danuta Unzeitig-Zakrzewska.
Sue Crawford (second left) introduced the poets.
Thank you Parramatta Library for the privilege of sharing our work in the community!
