Beautiful memories of daisy

Re: ‘Tough and refined' article by Jim Bunny (The Sun, December 5).

I just wanted to let Jim know that there are others who knew Daisy very well.

She did have an opportunity to walk the boardwalk and I recall how very 'chuffed' she was to have it named after her while she was still alive.

Daisy was a well-known lady and I spent many weekends at her homestead in the Mindens.

We would weed together and I'd be fascinated by the assortment of wondrous plants and flowers we came across during our time in the garden.

Daisy also painted, and I still have etched in my memory the gorgeous backdrop painting she had in the garden internal walkway that led to her front door.

The birdlife was also prolific, encouraged no doubt by her many plantings and the flowers they produced.

Jim, you hit the nail on the head about Daisy; tough, strong, resilient and yet at the same time a beautiful woman of elegant stature.

I was fortunate to have her in my life. She's placed firmly in my heart and was one of the few 'constants” available to me when I grew up.

Your article drew tears to my eyes, I miss her.

Daisy Hardwick was my grandmother.
