Note	Mavis Edwards was my mother's friend and companion in her early years. Born with 12 months of each other they were brought up together as children. Mavis died suddenly at age 28 and it seriously affected mum. There were deep and meaningful discussions with Auntie Agg around the kitchen stove at Harden when I was 8 to 12 years old. Auntie Aggs house was where mum was born and the Edwards lived close by in another railway house.
